Deafheaven Drop Flowery New Single ‘Heathen’

Deafheaven recently announced a new album, Lonely People With Power, and now they’ve dropped the second single from the project.

Titled “Heathen,” the song features a flowery melody and some clean singing before building to a crescendo of chaos as frontman George Clarke delivers a hail of screeches and wails so piercing that the Devil might think a horde of tortured souls got free from Hell just to lay down some vocals on the new Deafheaven album.

Check it out below:
