Deafheaven - Sunbather (2013)

except, perhaps, to the odd nostalgic metal-fiend youtuber ("I don't know man, black metal came a long long way. From trolling in the woods of Norway and burning churches to pink album covers"), Deafheaven's Sunbather is more proof that black metal and post-rock can be two peas in one ferocious, face-melting pod.  

these tracks remind me of Other Animals and especially Wolves in the Throne Room (huge fan), which are also totally worth a listen.





ps these dudes have great shirts as well

Wolves in the Throne Room - Celestial Lineage (2011)

never really got into black metal, but this is awesome. wolves in the throne room are apparently pushing black metal to new, inter-genre heights, and it works. think epic post-rock, mixed with the best of metal.

it took me a couple of spins before i massively got into this album, so definitely give it some time if your ears aren't tuned to metal vocals, shreddage and pounding double pedal rhythms. it's worth it.
