Deafheaven’s demo had just begun making a splash online. “Their performance was amazing; it was clear right away that they were a force to be reckoned with,” Bosse-de-Nage recalls. At a time before blackgaze and post-black metal had fully cohered into recognizable movements, the bands recognized something familiar in one another. They began playing shows together and formed a friendship that has endured ever since.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe exact genesis of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSplit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e has been lost to time.
