Deafheaven have shared details of their fifth studio album.
The follow-up to 2018's 'Ordinary Corrupt Human Love' is called 'Infinite Granite' and is due out on August 20 via Sargent House.
The San Francisco quintet worked on the record alongside producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen, known for his work with St. Vincent, Nine Inch Nails, Wolf Alice, and Paramore. Frequent studio collaborator Jack Shirley provided engineering with Darrell Thorp handling mixing duties.
As a preview, they've unveiled the melodic first single Great Mass Of Color, which finds frontman George Clarks mostly singing clean vocals for a sprawling stylistic jump from their familiar black metal-inspired shoegaze sound. Press play below.
The news follows the band's studio-recorded live record, '10 Years Gone', released back in December 2020. As the title suggests, it celebrates the 10th anniversary of the first Deafheaven Bandcamp demo, after the band revealed that they intended to tour North America before the COVID-19 pandemic derailed their plans.
'Infinite Granite' tracklist:
1. Shellstar
2. In Blur
3. Great Mass of Color
4. Neptune Raining Diamonds
5. Lament for Wasps
6. Villain
7. The Gnashing
8. Other Language
9. Mombasa
