This Will Destroy You

This Will Destroy You is a four-piece Texas band historically disinterested in labels. Listening to the quartet’s introspective instrumental tracks, the easy-out would be to categorize them as post-rock. But the band has opted instead for the term “doomgaze” instead. Blending the intensity of doom metal with the fragility of shoegaze, the music burns slowly, shifting from ambient to turbulent and back. This Will Destroy You’s newest album, “Another Language,” is out now, and the group is scheduled to play Brighton Music Hall on Thursday. Calling from his home in Dallas, drummer and Massachusetts native Alex Bhore shared the five best concerts he’s seen in recent years.
