Deafheaven have announced a new album, Lonely People with Power, arriving March 28th via Roadrunner Records. The video for the lead single “Magnolia” can be streamed below.
The track signals a furious return to the band’s black metal style, complete with frontman George Clarke’s vocals sounding as a harsh as ever — an approach he eschewed on the previous album, Infinite Granite. Black metal beats and tornadic riffs build to a crescendo as the track reaches an epic Slayer-esque breakdown — the heaviest Deafheaven have sounded since the 2019 one-off “Black Brick.”
Lonely People with Power is the band’s sixth proper studio album and was recorded at EastWest Studios with producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen (St. Vincent, M83). The 12-song LP includes additional vocal contributions from Jae Matthews of Boy Harsher and Paul Banks of Interpol.
Per Deafheaven’s press release, tour dates supporting the new album “will be announced in the coming days.” Currently, the band is slated for two US festival appearances in 2025 — Sonic Temple (May 9th) and Welcome to Rockville (May 15th) — in addition to European festival dates. Get tickets here.
You can pre-save and pre-order Lonely People with Power on vinyl, including a 2-LP deluxe edition and several limited edition color variants, via this location.
