Deafheaven

They’ve released four widely reviewed albums since they first performed at the OFF Festival back in 2014, shifting the boundaries of metal in ways that made some love them even more and others hate them with even greater passion. But Deafheaven has always had its own vision of heavy music and didn’t particularly care if people asked “But is it metal?”. They wanted people to say: “It’s Deafheaven.” So let’s hear what the critics had to say: “Unexpectedly heavy and entirely brilliant” (Kerrang!); “A multifaceted, multilayered gem of an album” (Clash); “Ragingly beautiful” (Rolling Stone). Marking the band’s fifteenth year and the start of a new chapter with Roadrunner Records, the album Lonely People With Power dropped in 2025 to rave reviews. The California-based outfit was hailed as one of the best acts today’s metal scene has to offer. There’s no arguing with that: see you at the OFF Festival.
