DEADLY CARNAGE - Chasm

I'm going to level with you: I've never listened to Deafheaven. I have, however, listened to My Bloody Valentine, and I can tell that the members of Deadly Carnage have too. I mean, this isn't deadly, and this isn't really carnage: this is basically chaotic shoegaze filtered through a post-hardcore sound, somehow arriving at an end result that bears reviewing on a metal site due to lots of distortion and screaming. 

Metal-Archives is calling it black/doom, but I'm hearing ambitious post-black metal, atmospheric doom-rock, nutty post-hardcore, screamy and angular... holy crap this is hard to explain, which is cool; means Deadly Carnage are on to something here. You expect standard-fare death metal with that name, and you get something different, these two songs not even really sounding alike (heck, even within the songs there are lots of variety). Somewhere between Katatonia, Knut, Kvelertak, and Kerosene 454 these two songs reside, and, damn, that's pretty cool. This limited-edition 7” is celebrating 10 years of this band, who I clearly need to get more acquainted with.
