Deafheaven Black Brick Live

In 2018, Revolver went on the road with Deafheaven for our two-part documentary ''Corrupt Love Across America;'' last month, we dropped in again, on a few of the West Coast tour dates on their co-headlining run with Baroness. The group''s recently released stand-alone single Black Brick ? a B-side from their excellent, adventurous fourth album, ''Ordinary Corrupt Human Love'' ? serves as a particularly vicious highlight of Deafheaven''s set. In contrast to the heavily shoegaze-inflected atmosphere of many of the quintet''s other songs, the nearly eight-minute composition is steeped in classic black-metal grimness and ferocity, both of which are only amplified live onstage. Watch the recent performance to see what we mean.
