Oct 2, 2015If you loved Sunbather then you'll love New Bermuda. My only complaint being that at just five tracks running to 45 mins it feels a little short: one more track would have made this perfect!

Oct 2, 2015Definitely a hard change from "Sunbather," but once you get used to the rougher guitars and darker chord progressions, it's just as good. It's almost as if they heard all the black metal elitists' complaints about "Sunbather" and went through a checklist while recording "New Bermuda." Easily one of my favorite metal albums this year.

Oct 2, 2015A truly wonderful album that has a real sense of trajectory and cohesion. They didn't just make a follow up to Sunbather but rather built on it. Luna is the stand out track, providing the lynch pin a a seriously good piece of work

Feb 6, 20165 tracks that are all solid and captivating on their own, but make a fantastic album as a whole. A great follow-up to Sunbather, in that it isn't a follow-up at all. It is definitely its own experience, and I think it is a more visceral and creative one that its predecessor.

Sep 11, 2018It's impressive how Deafheaven's creativity looks there's no end. Each band's album are different of each other. And you can feel the difference for this one to the previously. If Sunbather is more delicate, New Bermuda has much more weight, aggressiveness and darkness.

Oct 7, 2015Poetic, atmospheric and dark, Deafheaven's latest album "New Bermuda", is an excellent metal album with the right amount of brutal pleasure and soft rhythms.

Oct 3, 2015It was a tough act to follow Sunbather with something that wasn't "more of the same" and DFHVN has done it again: another skilled album, powerful sound, beautiful rhythms and probably my favorite pick of 2015. New Bermuda is a win/win bet for any listener open to enjoy the thrills and feelings this band provides every track. Masterpiece.

Dec 18, 2016Was it possible for Deafheaven to make an album as good -or better- than Sunbather ? The answer is yes. New Bermuda is very different on its own, since it has more black metal riffs than its predecessor. But there's still those melodic parts that blow me away everytime. Deafheaven really is one of the best metal/post-rock/post-metal/blackgaze/anythingyouwant band right now.

Oct 7, 2015Deafheaven have managed to craft a lengthy, complex offering that could be considered the antithesis of their lauded second album, but also proves to their doubters that they're here to stay.
