San Francisco, CA’s Deafheaven are gearing up to start their first European headlining tour on February 3rd with Hierophant. The tour is set to run through February 25th, and will hit Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Belgium, France, the UK, and more. Upon their return home, Deafheaven will head out on tour in North America, starting in LA on a string of dates with Whirr and Marriages (feat. members of Red Sparrowes), making their way down to play at this year’s SXSW Music Festival in Austin, TX. They will then meet up with black metal/shoegaze masters Alcest – all dates are below.

Deafheaven is touring in support of last year’s Roads to Judah, which was released via Deathwish Inc. The album landed on countless “best of” lists for 2011, including #6 on NPR’s Best Metal Albums, #22 Pitchfork’s Top 40 Metal Albums, #9 BrooklynVegan’s Top 30 Heavy Albums, #36 Decibel Magazine’s Top 40 Metal Albums, #12 AV Club LOUD’s Top 15 Albums. Expect the band to play choice cuts off of Roads To Judah throughout their forthcoming tour schedule.
