Deafheaven have announced the 10th anniversary remix/remaster of their iconic album Sunbather, set for release November 17. Deafheaven formed in 2010 in San Francisco, California with the core duo of George Clarke and McCoy.
Their debut demo was completed with Jack Shirley who would eventually helm Sunbather, releasing it on cassette which led to a record deal with Deathwish Inc. The album was released in limited numbers on seven-inch format.
When asked about the response to Sunbather founding guitarists Kerry McCoy states:
“The easy answer was it was totally positive and overwhelming. But in actuality it was also kind of frustrating. We were grateful for the positive notes, but there were people who thought we were the worst thing to ever happen to metal and others who thought that we claimed to invent the genre. Neither were true.”
