[ATTENDED: September 18, 2025] Deafheaven / I Promised the World
After having missed Deafheaven back in May for the stupidest reason ever (I wrote down the wrong date–the show was a day earlier), I thought this would be a great opportunity to see them. Especially in a small club like The Arrow.
However, I had already been out three nights in a row and even I know my limits. But Deafheaven seems to play a lot so I assume they’ll be back next year.
I Promised the World is an American metalcore band from Texas. Originally they were called Switch and then Sinema. In May 2025, the band changed their name to I Promised the World due to other acts sharing the name Sinema.
They have clean and unclean vocals, and the clean parts are quite catchy. I’m intrigued that they have parts with really growly vocals while the music is gentle and almost jazzy. I like how these younger bands are genre bending so much.
