New Noise is bringing California’s Deafheaven to China this August for two shows in Shanghai and Beijing. Known for reshaping the boundaries of metal, the band blends black metal, shoegaze, and post-rock into emotionally charged, high-intensity soundscapes. Their live shows are infamous for being loud, cathartic, and unexpectedly beautiful, a blend of chaos and tenderness. They’re touring in support of their 2025 release, Lonely People With Power, an album that continues their evolution while delving deeper into raw, personal themes. Expect a night of sheer sonic force and emotional release.
