Deafheaven was established in February 2010 in San Francisco, California, with vocalist George Clarke and guitarist Kerry McCoy, who had previously collaborated in the grindcore band Rise of Caligula. Clarke is uncertain about the origin of the band’s name but acknowledges its appearance in William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 29.

The name ‘Deafheaven’ is a portmanteau of the words ‘deaf’ and ‘heaven,’ serving as an homage to the band Slowdive. In April 2010, Clarke and McCoy recorded an untitled demo album at Atomic Garden Studios with Jack Shirley, incurring a cost of approximately US$500, which the band could not initially afford. Due to the lack of an electric guitar or amplifier, the demo was composed on an acoustic guitar and recorded using borrowed equipment. This four-song demo, released digitally and in limited cassette tape editions, fused elements of traditional black metal with post-rock.

Although the band did not plan to release the demo, they distributed it to select favorite blogs. The positive reception prompted Clarke and McCoy to expand the lineup by recruiting bassist Derek Prine, guitarist Nick Bassett of Whirr, and drummer Trevor Deschryver, who responded to a Craigslist advertisement. By July 2010, the five-member ensemble had performed their first live shows.
