Dead Dialect Podcast's new season, which debuted February 3, features episodes filmed in 2019 - as in almost five years ago. It features exciting guests, like iconic American filmmaker John Waters. So, why the delay? We met Dead Dialect's Brandon Clements and Julian Lara to learn the story behind the "new" season's release.
Some records open doors, giving birth and lending credence to entirely new sub-genres. In 2013, Deafheaven’s Sunbather did precisely that, firmly demonstrating that dark metal needn’t be the preserve of neck-bearded Northern European doom-mongers, instead invigorating the genre with melody, lyrical tenderness, and a depth of musical arrangement and instrumental diversity almost previously unheard of within its traditionally insular enclave.
Coheed and Cambria, Deafheaven When you think of music, “lore” isn’t usually the first thing that springs to mind, but don’t tell Coheed and Cambria that. The prog rock outfit has built almost its entire career around a series of ongoing albums chronicling The Amory Wars, an epic sci-fi story crafted by frontman Claudio Sanchez (which he’s also adapted into comics and a novel). C&C has done so by exploring a galaxy of sounds too, ranging from shredding heavy metal to melodic pop rock to post-hardcore. The group’s latest tour also includes Deafheaven, the black metal-meets-shoegaze act that crafts the most beautiful punishing music out there (though the band took heat for shifting away from screamed vocals to a much more light and atmospheric sound on 2021’s Infinite Granite).
