Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Sunbather is the second studio album by American Black Metal band Deafheaven, released on the 11th of June, 2013. Recorded in five days, Sunbather marks the moment where Deafheaven fine-tuned their recent adoptions of Shoegazing and Post-Rock within their songwriting, first seen on their debut Roads to Judah. This is reflected in both the sound and length of the album - the total runtime is over an hour long with just seven tracks. Lyrically, Sunbather is meant to be a Concept Album regarding "the profound sadness found in the quest for one's personal perfection... serving as an artistic lucid dream of warmth despite the stinging pain of life's cruel idealism". Samples featured on this album, such as guitarist Kerry McCoy buying drugs, help compound this further.Critically, Sunbather was a success by every definition of the word. At 92/100, Metacritic named it as the most critically acclaimed album of the year - the first metal record to ever do so. However, the album's sound did divide many: purists denounced it without hesitation, while others raved over it. In certain crowds, bringing up Sunbather can trigger major arguments.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

Arc Symbol: The lyrics repeatedly feature the motif of sunlight being obscured in some way (through sunglasses, curtains, and closed eyes, among other things). It's pretty clearly symbolic. | |

Drugs Are Bad | |
| Sunbather (Music) / int_de7b7cbf | comment |
Drugs Are Bad: "Windows" samples McCoy buying drugs in order to contrast the real-life hell of addiction with the metaphysical hell the preacher earlier in the track is ranting about. | |

Design Student's Orgasm: Sure, even if it doesn't scream 'black metal album', there's a reason the cover's so memorable. | |
