I'll stick around and give them a chance to change my mind, but I have not been impressed with anything I've heard from them at all. Things can change in the live setting though. We'll see!

Yeah you can’t listen to Deafheaven and expect true metal. I mean, they
are Metal, but yes... they’re metal for people who don’t really fucking like metal, because so much metal fucking eats shit.
No, for this band you need to put on your Cotceau Twins/MBV/Slowdive hat.
I think the actual equation for their music is [(Sunny Day Real Estate x My Bloody Valentine)/Wolves in the Throne Room]^Queen = Deafheaven
Anyway... “real” metal or not, Deafheaven and The Body have made me listen to metal again over the past few years. Sunbather was so goddamn good, and posed off so many homophobic bitchass metal heads it was glorious and hilarious. This new one has more riffage, less abrasion, but I like it.
But no, High on Fire they are not.
