Now 10 year old, Deafheaven's Sunbather album has been remixed and remastered by original producer Jack Shirley, and will be released on colored vinyl and with special packaging as the album hits a milestone anniversary. The new package comes out on Nov. 17 via Deathwish Inc.

The band will also embark on a 10th anniversary tour, with Touché Amoré also on the bill.

“Honestly, Sunbather gave us a career,” says guitarist Kerry McCoy. “Before then we were working jobs and had these grandiose dreams, but that was the record that turned us into a real band. Because of that record, we ended up meeting a lot of people around the world that changed our lives and set us on the path we’re on now.” 

Check out the new "Vertigo" below.

I never really thought in any measure that I’d be writing at any point in time a review of a Deafheaven record, yet here we are. Even now I remember the absolute furor that bundled virally around their 2013 release, Sunbather. I didn’t really understand then, nor do I understand now why was it so huge. Personally, I couldn’t then … Read more

When I first heard that Deafheaven had released a new record, I was skeptical. The thing is, I’m not entirely sure why because the band has more than proven themselves with their past records Sunbather and New Bermuda. Both records killed, but with a band that has already explored the ins and outs of metal, I questioned how they could push themselves further … Read more

Deafheaven’s Sunbather was the antithesis of a sophomore slump. The album produced armies of lovers and haters, who debated whether or not the album was “metal” enough to deserve all the media attention proclaiming it as one of the greatest current metal albums. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll ever forget waiting in line to see Deafheaven and hearing the couple … Read more
