San Francisco-based metal innovators Deafheaven have announced their fifth album Infinite Granite, a follow-up to 2018’s Ordinary Corrupt Human Love. The album arrives Aug. 20 via Sargent House. The band’s go-to producer Jack Shirley returns as an engineer, with production duties instead being handled by Justin Meldal-Johnsen, known for his work with M83, Paramore and Wolf Alice.
In addition to the new production team comes a new musical approach on the band’s newest single, “Great Mass of Color.” The track takes a slightly more melodic approach with the band’s lush soundscape. The most notable difference is frontman George Clarke’s subdued croon instead of his signature wails. A press release notes that Clarke will be using Infinite Granite to explore his vocal abilities further than previous releases have shown.
