Deathwish Inc. have announced the signing of San Francisco's Deafheaven.
The label had the following to say about the signing:
"Their hybrid musical approach is outright stunning. A melding of epic Post Rock leanings (Envy, Godspeed You! Black Emperor) with experimental Black Metal (Xasthur, Weakling, Leviathan), and classic era "Screamo" (Orchid, Crimson Curse) into something never successfully experienced before.
In the summer of 2010, Deafheaven released their self titled demo which received great reviews from all sides of the music Blogosphere. You can pick up a digital version of Deafheaven's full demo direct from their Bandcamp website.
Deafheaven will soon enter the studio to record their new album titled "Roads to Judah" with Jack Shirley (Funeral Diner, Loma Prieta). This highly anticipated album will be released on Deathwish in 2011."
