Hear that intense ringing in your ears? That numb feeling that has suddenly washed over your eardrums? Well, it can only mean one thing: USA metal band Deafheaven are coming to Australian shores for the first time, and while we may never have seen them here before, one thing is certain. They will be loud.

After the success of their 2013 album Sunbather, Deafheaven will be leaving the American winter behind them to bathe in the sunlight of Sydney as part of their January tour.

If metallic guitar riffs and demonic vocals are your kind of paradise, prepare your eardrums and check them out.

Deafheaven will be playing at The Annandale Hotel on January 9 2014. Tickets are on sale now at lifeisnoise and Oztix.
