Neither rain nor snow nor hit pieces in the A.V. Club will stop the continuing dominance of Bay Area black-metal crew Deafheaven, who managed to blow up black metal in the US by making the cover to their Sunbather album hot pink. Silly controversies aside, Deafheaven put on an intimidating live show. Singer George Clarke is a charismatic performer who channels bits of David Bowie and Ian Curtis into a genre that’s mostly too tough for its own good. Show up early to catch LA’s Emma Ruth Rundle. Her 2016 album, Marked for Death, is the most heartbreaking piece of slowcore I’ve heard since that last Low album. JOSEPH SCHAFER
