In the 70s, psychotherapist Arthur Janov argued the only way through childhood trauma is to relive it — to make it real again while expelling it from the central nervous system through unrestrained screaming, hysteria and violence. This idea, known as Primal Therapy, or Primal Scream Therapy, seems to apply to Bay Area band Deafheaven, stopping by Eugene in support of 2015’s New Bermuda. Metal’s jackhammer to the frontal lobe sits alongside the more melancholy, meditative beauty of bands like The Cure, or other bands that commonly fall under the loose rock genre known as shoegaze. Deafheaven is interested in pain as a means of release, forcing an audience to reexamine their own expectation of music itself. Vocalist George Clarke has a dragon-like scream, never carrying melody but instead bubbling like lava. And overall Deafheaven is informed but never restricted by a single style’s diktat, whether that style is metal, post rock or something else entirely, something that must be pulled up from deep within our own set of experiences. Deafheaven plays with This Will Destroy You and Emma Ruth Rundle at 8 pm Monday, March 27, at WOW Hall; $16 advance, $18 door, All-ages. — Will Kennedy 14 March 23, 2017 • eugeneweekly.com
