deafheaven - Lonely People With Power (2025)
Deafheaven's sixth studio album, Lonely People With Power, released on March 28, 2025, marks a compelling return to their heavier roots after the more polished sound of Infinite Granite. The album seamlessly integrates the band's signature black metal intensity with elements of shoegaze and post-metal, creating a dynamic and immersive listening experience. Tracks like "Doberman" and "Magnolia" showcase relentless energy and intricate musicianship, while "Heathen" balances dark pop sensibilities with anthemic choruses. Guest contributions from artists such as Paul Banks and Jae Matthews add depth and diversity to the album's sonic landscape. Critics have praised Lonely People With Power for its bold exploration of themes like loss, political commentary, and masculinity, highlighting the band's continued evolution and refusal to be confined by genre expectations.
