Deftones - Diamond Eyes Cover Reveal Part 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwCR9IxfJlc&feature=player_embedded#ws)
i didn't know this was found already sorry
I think it's a porcelain angel of some kind maybe?
is it me or does that sound like diamond eyes but different ?
edit: Is it diamond eyes but a instrumental?
It's an owl...go to the merch page on deftones.com

your telling me this albums art on the cover is going to be of a owl?
I keep trying to tell myself it's not...but I am afraid it is.
I think the top part of the owl's head is blue...I hope I'm wrong.
I think you nailed it with the owl.

I dont think its the owl look at where the wing meets the head of the owl its different
I think the owl is just going to be a portion of the cover like the latest RX Bandits has a bunch of shit on it including avian wildlife. I don't think that merch store pic is going to be the whole cover or even the same shot of the owl that will be used on the cover but this teaser with the blue portion of whatever that is is making me very excited for this cover.
that's fucking awesome
Chino said the album has a very night time feel about it
Can someone show me this owl merch? i cant see it
At least is not another woman.

thats sick. but who cares what the album looks like. WP was so plain. Still a cool album cover but plain......
That Owl banner you posted is no longer up on the merch site, well I can't find it anyway.
If you looked up two posts you could.
i hate owls
pretty sure the "blue part" is just the colors inverted
naw, it,s really the owl, on the first trailer you can see it's exactly the same feathers
I don't know, I've been studying the videos really closely, and I think I've got it pretty spot on here.
(http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/WolfDietrichVonDulsa/diamondEyes.jpg)
haha, that would be an awesome cover
Meh, owls. ::)
Hey, it's Frank Maddocks. I'm sure it's gonna look cool in the end.
I thought it'd be a woman. I have no clue whatsoever what the blue part is, but I see eyes...eh, I'll wait. You guys should take bets on what animal will be on the cover.
I bet its you
it's gonna be just a big ol' pair of goat balls. that'll learn us not to expect anything.
I think SNW had one of the greatest album covers ever. Absolutely brilliant as far as I'm concerned. Loved S/T too. I'm sure this one will be great.

I know that we all know it's gonna be the owl, but to prove it I inverted the owl and...

ONE OF the greatest ever. Not THE VERY GREATEST EVER. Yeah, that vibe is exactly why I find it so intriguing. It has a seriously legit eroticism to it that I can't help but love.
Maybe cos they look fucking beautiful and awesome? I don't know.
I'm just a poor boy, from a poor family.

Yeah, if the whole cover is nothing but that owl inverted like that, I'll truly shit my pants with joy. The effect it has on the eyes is sick as hell. Thoroughly good.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
*ghey*
*GHEY(*
Yeah, I like it too.
"you remind me of the babe"
might only have that colour invert crap to disguise it on the trailer
Hm, at first I thought "WTF? A fucking owl?!", but after I've seen that...

In French, an owl is a "chouette". But "chouette" also means "neat" or "nice", stuff like that.
Sorry I had to share this.

Yeah I did. :P
But someone from the merch site obviously fucked up as it's been changed back....
Thing is not all deftones fans are as ruthless as tracking down stuff like this as here, so they probs haven't seen the owl yet and will be watching the teaser videos keenly. I do appreciate it very much never the less.

Sorry I had to share this.
In Italian it would be a "civetta", and when referred to women it means "pretty but vain and silly"...
Anyway, I like owls!
I was thinking about 2 things:
1)The owl is sacred to Minerva
2)Minerva is a virgin Goddes, could it mean this album is in contrast with the one that was going to come out, Eros?
Just a random thought...
I like how when everyone started disusing this...the owl mysteriously disappeared from the merch site. oops. someone messed up.
They could wrap this album in shit and i would still buy it

Then I would say: "what power?"

I always thought orange roses for the S/T cover.
It's blatantly the Owl. An album leak and the cover art sussed? the guys are gonna be pissed come show time... WOOHOO!! ;)
Please not an owl :o
It would be weird even tough all deftones do is weird :D

If it is that owl, I'd be digging that. With the whole album in white/black text.
At first I was really hating on the owl, but Subliminal's sig has made me love it now.

Can somebody reverse this back? I think the cover will be the "regular" version but not cropped to be a banner.
Anyway, if someone could reverse this back it would be sweet. I don't like the "buildings" cover I am using now. Thanks in advance guys.

As long as its the whole size of the case.. all that black border looks dumb :p
My question is ca somebody reverse the above image back? I think the reverse image was just to throw people for a loop. I would do it myself but I don't have Photoshop. I want It use it as a cover in the non reversed form.
Dude, just open it up in paint and click Invert. You don't need PS for that.

It's pretty cool you guys got the 'barn owl' right!! This is the final cover. I got it from my buddy at Warner Bros Holland. I like it!!!

^this. hope this shit is not true.
Is it me or am I the only who thinks some dumb owl on the front isn't the best album artwork they could provide us with? I really can't take that shit seriously.
If it is then I pray that it is big bird.
based off the videos though it seemed there was a lot more going on on the cover. part of me doubts this is the actual final cover. i suppose we'll see when they release the next cover reveal video which i assume will come with the new website tomorrow or the next.
it makes perfect sense, we got white pony...and now - the blue owl, very cool.
nah im just kidding, it is horrible
Well just imagine it, deftones merch like that, so concerts full of Owl t shirts... I mean come on that just sounds shit!
It's a joke guys. haha. Sorry. I think the owl is gonna be on it though. I just made this.
whats the problem with owl by the way? its looks cool for me.

This is no joke but a LOONG TIME ago, in 1998. Chino told me he wanted the next cover to have an owl on it. This is NO joke. Then we got a pony.
And. Whats wrong with an owl. Those are way cool animals!

The cover'll be surreal and unsettling like an old photo, scratches with the owl not inverted.
That is brilliant.
its a pig
the pig should be on snw cover. to describe what they look like that time.
they oughta use the eagle from the U.S. postal service after mailing this album in. ;D

Yeah, ever since someone mentioned the Owl, I was like mannn that's killer! *makes sig* I think it makes a perfect album cover and it explains the 'Night time feel' Chino mentioned, with Owls being able to see in the dark.
Something extra to go with it would be cool though, I'm seriously think of having it tattoo'd somehow.
i already got my deftones kitty cat tattoo but this album makes me extra proud of it.

Good looking getting the owl tattooed like that. Still, I think it'd make a good cover. Inverted though. A normal owl on the front wouldnt look as good for me.
^ Agreed. I think the color inversion would make it that much better but I'm sure it'll be cool as hell either way.
I agree, the inverted one is only for the shining eyes. I wonder if they're gonna get diamons encorporated into the picture somehow?

Holy shit guys m83 Remix of Rocket Skates!!!!!!
Yeah that sounds good.
Clarity of the image is nice, but still its a god damn owl. If I know the significance then I may grow to it a bit more...
Chino said from the start that this album had a night time feel. the owl is perfect... enough said...

How did you come across this? :) Very cool. Maybe all the band photos in the booklet will have different types of owls on each band member? Lol. Sounds cheesy but might be cool if done right (Artsy)
Lol. Nice... Anyother cool goodies? (Had to ask) 8)

hmm.ok!
the cover kinda of looks dull and lifeless.it's an ok cover.I bet the booklet and the rest of the artwork are more appealing.
yeah or there might be even more fucking owls in there. i suspect people liking this do so because they see it with fan-goggles on. you know, u like this band so much everything around it becomes good somehow. but in the end, its just a dumb fucking bird. if we would see this on some other bands cover we wouldnt look twice at it
OMG... This cover is so fucking horrible lol

while the inverted owl is cool, there's just something about inverting pictures that screams "look, guyz! I found the invert function in Paint!"

I still want the album to be all in White.
I'm getting obsessed with it!
Devildriver's last album "Pray For Villians" featured an owl on the cover. Before the album released Dez posted their reasoning for it:
"I personally have been collecting Owls for some time and the Owl in many different cultures is seen as both the hero and villain. In Ireland an Owl that enters a house must be killed at once, for if it flies away it will takes the luck of the house with it. In Australia, Aborigines believe bats represent the souls of men and Owls the souls of woman. Owls are therefore sacred in their culture because your sister is an Owl and the Owl is your sister.
"For the Aztecs, one of their evil gods wore a screech Owl on his head and in the Celtic culture, the Owl is the sign of the Underworld. So, the OWL was the obvious choice as I wanted to feel as connected to the artwork as I do to the music and also give DevilDriver another icon to work with and even further define us a band!"
I'm sure their reasons for using an owl are much different than that of the deftones, but I found it interesting nonetheless. As for the DE cover, I think it looks very cool, but I actually might like the inverted version more :)
Fucking LOVE the album cover. Looks amazing.
Their best album cover, HANDS down and their best album, HANDS down. Holy shit. I love this band so much..
wtf is with the white text over the white feathers in the video. who ever designed this video should be shot!

Eh, not too fond of the album cover. I mean, I dont sit here staring at any covers, so it's not a big deal, but to me it's just...well, it's an owl. Matches the music as someone said, but still.

I really dig the cover. As far as best cover ever, nofuckingwayinhell. White Pony is an iconographic image. That cover (wp) may be in the top ten all time.
AWESOME cover. And diamond eyes is becoming one of my alltime favorite deftones songs.
nevermind. fuck off
beautiful!

this means this is a stock photo, which means warner brother didn't actually paid a photographer and a designer, they bought an already made picture from a company who pays artists to get the right for their art. They don't actually have the right for it. All and all, this is a very cheap move from them.

dude are you serious?!?! who cares whether the picture existed independently of the album? Whether a totally new work was created or not, the album artwork is obviously meaningful to the band and represents the music and emotion in a different way. Obviously the band feels the picture is symbolic and meaningful. And of course they have the rights to the photo, or else they couldn't use it. I imagine they paid a fee to the original rights-holder for either a limited, exclusive license and or an entire buy-out.
yeah, I don't really see the problem with it either. I can assure you it's not the first time a stock photo is used for album art. and before you say they lied about that guy working hard on the album art, you must remember there's more to it than just the front cover. something tells me the booklet won't be 6 pages consisting only of that owl picture.

Like I said in the other thread who cares? Is it affecting the music in some way. No because everyone already knows that this album fucking rocks. An even you minus, who was whining about how it didn't have the "classic" deftones guitar before you heard the entire thing.

WTF? Why would you bring that up? Totally unrelated...
But seeing as you brought it up....nothing's changed since I said that, still not a single song on this album has that classic Deftones/Steph guitar lol. If you can't realize that, um get some new ears?

So I guess you really don't dig the cover of Led Zep 1? Seriously, maybe it is just cause you are into photography. How many peoe in the world today really know that the cover of led zep 1 is the Hindenburg? How many think it is the cover to led zep 1?
Point being, that shit was a historical tragedy, this, well, it is a fucking stock photo. See what I am saying...

No need to be rude. The Hindenburg has some significance and is widely known. This is not.
Because, why nitpick when the finished product is already great!!
And yes I know what guitar sound your talkin about.
I do agree that it's great. Bed time! lol
deftones are simple, in a good way. thats enough.

Sorry, I was not trying to be rude but you are kind of probing my point.
I really don't believe many people today know what zep 1 is a pic of. And you are absolutely correct. This is just a stock photo. My point is that when people see this image forevermore they will think deftones, diamond eyes.
I guess my point is that when 90% of people see that hindenburg pic they think led zep. When everyone sees that owl pic they are going to think diamond eyes. No one is ever going to know or care about a stock photo in 2 months. That image is now deftones. See what I mean?

I understand now. And yeah I agree...plus nobody really knew this was a stock photo until that person posted it.
But I'm confused- one of these threads had small photos of Chino and someone with a similar looking owl...I thought it was a photo shoot for this cover maybe? Or maybe those were older, unrelated pics?

The cover is SICK. It fits the mood of the music perfectly.
I think the cover of the diamond eys single (stock photo or not) would fit better the mood of the album.

supposedly that is off his facebook.
I must be friends with chino. I must get chinosox. I must know what name he goes by on there...
Ok, nevermind! I just had a stalkerish mancrush for a sec...
Anyway, I already have chinosox. Although I would rely like to see the other pics on there. I can't wait for the story of the owl to come out. It appears he has some sort of interest in them.

Jesus christ, stock photo or not, it's perfect for the album. Why are you people so critical? does it really affect your life that much if you don't like it?..
I am stoked about the cover. An owl seems kind of weak at first but it just fits.
1. The owl is a nocturnal predator. This album has such a nighttime vibe for me. The mindset of a killer.
2. The album is called diamond eyes. The teaser featured the golden eyes of a great horned owl which are very cool, however, I much prefer the black eyes of the barn owl (correct me if I am wrong here) they are empty, black. These might be diamond eyes but they are a blank slate. They are left for you, the listener to fill in. I love that.
3. The owl is white, soft and pure. But the owl is, as I established, a predator and a killer. A beautiful dichotomy. Exactly like the album, and, much like the band.
For me, this image is the icing on the cake. A perfect visual metaphor for the music and writing.
The synergy of music, imagery and feeling behind this album make it a pinnacle for the band. Nobody in the music business today is doing what these guys are doing right now. Deftones are in thier prime as artists at this moment.
Sorry, I know I am going off but I just have to gush. This album for me is a life changing, genre bending colossus.
I am in love.

They do it everytime, but this.. this is something else! I totally agree with you
I hope it's on some kind of gate-fold style CD with expanded artwork etc, rather than a jewel case. Obviously a jewel-case is fine but y'know...

Nicely put, and well-analyzed. To me it's still just a cover. I look at it probably about a second, just as I take the CD out and put it back. If I was more into photography and it was this amazingly beautiful and artistic and symbolic cover, I'd have more interest in it, but this isnt supposed to be about the cover, the music matters a huge amount more to me. Cover's growing on me, but not a big deal still.

ok but you just said:

Their best album cover, HANDS down and their best album, HANDS down. Holy shit. I love this band so much..
it seems to me you cared about it in a positive way and got a affected by it a lot - therefor you could have some understanding for people disliking it and them getting affected by it in a bad way. personally im not going bananas over it but its pretty ugly.
Really eye catching. If i went into a store having no idea what it was? i'd take a look. I've never seen a owl as a CD cover before either. I love it. It's refreshing
if you meet a person who got a nice tattoo and that tattoo is self-designed by that person, you kind of respect that tat even more.. than if that person just went in a tattoo store and pointed at a picture in a booklet and said "that one please"
i think of it in the same way about the cover, maybe not deftoes making something themlselves but anyway some photographer listen to the music and click a photo or some dude designing a painting for the cover.im sure its much cheaper this way, with a stock photo, but theyre suppose to be artists. suppose to be unique. and picking a photo like this, a photo pretty much anwyone can get, isnt so unique.
but maybe the good music on the album will lift the cover a bit, im sure it will. a little anyway

I agree 100% i read some where that " if Frank maddock is doing it then it will be badass" but all he did was grabbed a stock photo and threw some a new font on it and not much else. I'll wait till i see the whole package before i pass judgment, but right now its a little uninspired. I dig the Owl but knowing its a stock photo eh idk. at least its got some bad ass music inside ;)

this looks like it should be for the remix or b-sides that don't make it to the album, neat shit, I still think your kind of a cock, but I kinda dig ur work so it kinda balances out.
Quote from: Vesanic on Mar 24, 2010, 12:12 PM...
I think the Ribbon font would have been awesome. with that white owl and the ribbon font it would make be a contrast to whats going on inside. Clean elegance on the outside, Murderous Rage on the inside. I think it would be cool if they did this whole clean and beautiful outside and have the disc its self have like blood splater on it or something. It would go with the whole contrast thing. Diamond Eyes is pretty much Murderous rage coming out in the most beautiful way
Not Saying this is good....but the fact that its this easy to create an album cover with stock photography is sad. I just dont like the idea anyone can buy the photo. It's like if A band used garage band and put their name on it. sad.

that one is better than the official cover!!
The blue owl with the claws is way dope, this will be my cover art for the album in itunes.
Thanks, I tried some other stuff to get closer to the original. It's gonna be a cover for future b-sides or live versions for sure!
I got rid of some contrast and put the logo in the same position as the real Diamond Eyes.
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y232/slyartwork/DIAMOND_EYES_FINAL_press_hi3.jpg)
I like it better! :)
Another try....
With the same owl, same photographer as the Diamond Eyes one. Just another pic from the shoot!!!!
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y232/slyartwork/DIAMOND_EYES_FINAL_press_hi4.jpg)
Sly, these are good, but I'd actually preffer the close up of the Owl's eye that's shown on the third trailer. that, and inverted as the first pictures.
I actually like the orginal deftones one better. That pic is just great, more soft.

That's the only thing I don't like.

pretty epic. sums up the mood of the whole album.
Would've been perfect for White Pony Era.
o rly?
dont understand either :D
i just hoped to be the first making the orly-joke
Don't know about anyone else, but I've never been so interested in Owls my entire life.
i've always thought they were cool, but i almost never see them. haven't seen one in 12 years at least. seen maybe 3-4 ever in real life. zoo don't count(haven't been to the Zoo since like 1989. free fun fact for you)

Owls are awesome, I used to love going to...um...those places where you get to fly them, and hawks and stuff. Skateboarding owls are something new to me though.

sig too big. please change!
HA!!! ^ For the reelz
could anyone tell me where i can teh stock photos of teh owl on the cover of Diamond Eyes , thank you :)
first album "Adrenaline", bulb syringe
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/87/Adrenaline_Deftones.jpg)
"Around the Fur" down angle of chick sitting by pool
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/21/Deftones_-_Around_the_Fur.jpg)
"White Pony" ...a white pony..with grey background...
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/16/Deftones_-_White_Pony-greycoverart.jpg/600px-Deftones_-_White_Pony-greycoverart.jpg)
self titled album, a skull with red and blue roses around it
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/53/Deftones-selftitled_albumcover.png)
"Saturday Night Wrist" another chick (high or maybe in mid coitus?) looks like it could be the same chick from around the fur album cover?
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/99/Saturday_night_wrist.jpg)
"Diamond Eyes" a white barn owl
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8b/Deftones_-_Diamond_Eyes.jpg)
So given the previous album covers I think this is one of the cooler looking ones. I liked the SNW album cover too. The worst by far is Adrenaline..come on a bulb syringe? (note i'm only talking about the album cover, as adrenaline is probably my favorite deftones album) I always look at that and think whoever made the album art was too much of a pussy to have an actual syringe on it so they put a bulb syringe, maybe? idk...anyway compared to adrenaline and white pony, Diamond eyes is a great album cover, and I think the white barn owl looks awesome with its expressionless face. Although the raven album cover that was posted earlier looks pretty badass too.
expressionless actually fits with its sound as well

"I don't like listening to people's problems -- I like music. Music has been smothered with that complaining since the early-'90s. It gets old. Instead of going to the opposite side of the spectrum and listening to The Black Eyed Peas, which is just straight silly, I choose to listen to more instrumental music. I do very little singing about myself on this record. I love songs where I can totally take myself out of being human. I can sing about really odd things, and they don't necessarily have to pertain to me at all. It paints a picture. Those are the kind of lyrics I grew up with -- like The Cure. Really visual images and no storytelling." —Chino Moreno

the bulb syringe makes sense as it's used to clean out ear wax and shit, it's kind of like saying the album is fuckin loud and heavy by using a very simple cover. i like it. the girl on the SNW cover is from a 70's lesbian porn flick, not the ATF cover..
Diamond Eyes is one of the most beautiful album covers ive ever seen. Best Tones album cover imo.
The bulb syringe always gives me a sick feeling in the back of my head... kind of like

Yeah I thought about that too (regarding the bulb syringe) and you are right it does make sense. Only reason I said what I said was they have songs that specifically reference shooting up. That is funny about the SNW cover I didn't know that, I asked this question (is it the same chick and who are they) on Yahoo Answers and got no answers.
To me it was this cool cover with the silver writing and didn't really concentrate on it too much... I was in wonder for years about what that thing was!

The girl is Uschi Digard or Misty Mundae, the film is Roxanna. hard to tell which version it's from... or it could be both.
