They might not be the corpsepaint type, but the Bay Area black metal tinkerers Deafheaven still make a brutal roar, and you could imagine that they would intimidate the living hell out of a 13-year-old. So credit Marcel, the young author of this music blog, with having the gumption to sit with the band’s two members for a 14-minute video interview before a show the band played in Southern California. The kid deserves enormous props for doing stuff like this at his age. The Deafheaven guys, for their part, also deserve credit for giving serious and thoughtful answers to all his questions. Watch it below; it’s nice.
