Ian Cohen on new Deafheaven: The most polarizing metal album in recent memory
Share
At the first point, the debate about the new album by Deafheaven will be about the band's change from metal to post-punk/shoegaze. Ian Cohen shares his contribution to the debate in the Ringer: "I’m reflexively inclined to say that 'Infinite Granite' is the most polarizing metal album in recent memory, even though it hardly sounds like a metal album at all. Or, it’s the most polarizing metal album in recent memory because it hardly sounds like a metal album at all". That leaves us with the question of whether it's good music, be it metal or any other genre.
