Ohms: pre-release hype thread

[kurtone]

It seems a new song is on their rehearsal setlist. Abe posted a pic, and under his stuff a setlist can be seen. One of the lines covered starts with "IH".

I thought that too but then I figured it could be lhabia.

[LG95]

It's all in capitals and the L is different on other songs so I don't think it's Lhabia. Probably a new song I'd say.

[Inkblades]

^ Agreed.

Also, not to be an alarmist, but the coronavirus might really affect the summer European and U.S. shows. Some artists are already cancelling their tours, sporting events are being affected and even movies like the new Bond flick are having their release dates pushed back. The Australia shows seem to definitely still be on, but after that, I'm not so sure now.

I think You are talking about 2015 European tour. We arrived in Berlin just a few days after terror act in Paris, while where was still no info if they will cancel the tour or not. We ended up going to see Fidlar and just wondering in Berlin. Now again, with the same friend, we plan to see Deftones in Berlin this summer. I hope the tour won't be canceled.

[God]

Sure enough, a new Deftones album with Terry Date and WP turning 20 complete the prophecy. Apocalypse is now.

They'll probably cancel shows, and this is probably why:

All the bands cancelling shows because of coronavirus are doing so because their insurance companies updated their policies to not cover cancellations due to the virus. I know because ours did the same

And the Australia tour is now postponed. It's the right move, obviously.

The Beale Street Festival in May is still on for now, but I can definitely see that being cancelled too if this thing keeps getting worse, which it likely will.

If all their shows for the year get cancelled, I could see the album release actually being pushed up.

 Do you people with more logic than I think the spread of COVID-19 is having an impact on when the album will release? I mean everything is essentially cancelled or postponed. It's truly unprecedented. Do you think the album will still follow it's original journey to release or no?

My guess is it will delay it as the band will not be able to travel to do any press etc. I always thought it would be out Sep/Oct, so that might still be the case

See? That's what I'm talking about. Logic. I didn't even think of press and promotional stuff. Great point.

Sergio has been streaming on Twitch the past couple days. I went and asked him if he could give us any idea on when we might get a single. In a very polite manner, he basically gave a non-answer. Said "art can't be rushed". He also said something along the lines of it's not that he CAN'T say anything, he just doesn't know what to say at this moment. He said "I'm not trying to be cryptic" as well. He finished with something like this (I am paraphrasing) -Even I did know something, you gotta have some secrets in a crazy time like this. With all this access to information at our fingertips, it's nice to know something that not everyone else knows.-

I feel terribly selfish but that answer kind of bums me out. I can't even begin to describe my anticipation for this new album. I was already at full on hype mode, but now with this COVID shit being so fucked up and depressing, a new Deftones track would truly inject some real happiness into my life and many others as well. Fortunately, I know that other fans feel the same way and I know they are taking their time because they want this to be an amazing album to experience. Must remain patient and respect the band and their decisions.

Hope you all are doing alright during quarantine! The wait continues...

Even if the album was done and ready to be promoted, I think the pandemic has really forced them into delaying. You can release a single and album title, release date, etc., sure. But we don't know how long this is going to last. And even when things get better, there very well might be a second wave, resulting in another pandemic. Hard to book tours and festivals promoting your brand new album with that level of uncertainty, especially since touring is such a good source of income over simply album sales.

I mean it definitely sucks, we could all do with some new Deftones music to get excited about. But I understand him not saying anything.

and I know they are taking their time because they want this to be an amazing album to experience.

[sharinglungs]

It aint coming out before June at this point. We might get a single in April/May.

[Gaz]

Maybe he doesn't want any shit from the rest of the band for speaking about the album without them around him? I like he is keeping things close to his chest on it all, keeps the mystique, which doesn't apply to most things these days

[endstand]

I remember all the hype before SNW. In pre-album interviews Chino talked about aggresive album, and when it finally came out, I felt like I was fooled

[LG95]

Two more hours.

[LG95]

If it did happen, I think it would be in tandem with a new release.

I don't see it happening though. Happy to be proven wrong.

[Inkblades]

That picture says its on Amazon...but it isn't. Yeah, don't believe it.
