Ohms: pre-release hype thread

[God]

Two more hours

[mono]

I signed up on muspy and there's nothing more than that. There's been an ongoing rumour the new album would be Eros after they debuted Smile at Dia de los Deftones. That and Terry being on board must have fed the rumour. I believe someone who bought the rumour put that up on muspy. I'm not buying it. But who knows?


Keep in mind though...

After Koi No Yokan's follow-up album Gore was released in 2016, Moreno seemed less interested in finishing Eros citing the unfinished album's poor quality. He said he "wasn't too happy with the material we had" and that "some of the music was lacking a little bit".[23] Moreno elaborated:

"   I had faith it was going to come together and be great in the end, but we never got to that point. Once Chi had his accident, everything came to a halt with the Eros sessions, so the idea of going back to that batch of songs, finishing them and have Sergio learn Chi's parts just hasn't felt like something that we're interested in doing. If the record were finished and we were just sitting on it, we probably would have put it out by now, maybe even given it away, just so that people can hear it, but it would take a lot more work to get it done. But when we get together, we're much more fascinated with where we are in this moment, trying to create something new.

Well, as much as I like Deftones like all of you here. As much as I was disappointed by Gore (production wise). And as much as I would this new record to come out sooner than later, i just want to cheer with our 5 boys. I can be a troll on their social media accounts, but I just want to say thank you to Chino, Abe, Franck and Steph (and Sergio also but not on this one). Because I'll always remember that Chino gave us Smile for free on YouTube. I think the boys are like all of us, normal human beings with love of music. They are just tied up by their Pr bullshit/record company to greenlight the release. At this point, I hope they'll announce a surprise release, not the usual teasing, followed by a single track, then ruining the  experience for most of us. I'm fed up with this trend.

And since I'm French, you'll excuse me for my mistakes/bad English. I know our Americans fellows here who have tickets for their summer US run are still hoping. But know that their June/ July Europeantour is mainly cancelled. I Was supposed to see them at Hellfest. But it's cancelled. And Belgium and Germany shows are cancelled too. Spain and Italy are still showing, but they'll soon be cancelled. My fingers are crossedd for you Americans.

I really hope we do see Eros one day. Melanie, Smile, and what we've heard of Dallas are just too good to pass up official releases.


As for production on Gore, I actually dig it. I know that's the most common criticism, but I already listen to a lot of lo-fi alternative rock, so it doesn't really bother me. It even adds some charm to the songs for me.

I actually don't think Melanie's that good. Similar main rhythm to RatsRatsRats but the song isn't as epic, interesting or visceral.

Smile is incredible though and "Dallas" (if it is called that) sounds really cool.

Yeah Melanie is definitely inspired by Ratsx3. But I love that song and I love SNW in general, and I love when Deftones do their "beauty meets ugly" thing in such a stark way. Maybe it's a second rate Ratsx3, but it still sounds awesome to me!

And I think Smile is the best song they've put out since SNW.

[Papa Prune]

From my POV, Melanie = Lotion=elite= wgtb=rats= poltergeist =doomed user.
I like this side of deftones . It's their mandatory ultra violent song. For me , lotion is a banger. Poltergeist and doomed user are good. Elite, wgtb and rats are meh. But Melanie seems really good, though it's something that you know deftones can write whenever they want.

And Smile... one of my favourite. What a song.... I do wish we could have a proper recording of it.

[Inkblades]

Melanie KNOCKS to me. I mean I can see the similarities to other songs (Rapture and Poltergeist, in particular) but that shit still goes hard.

Safe to say it's coming out next year? So cool to see an actual, direct update as opposed to the usual mystique material.

I don't think it's safe to say next year at all. I'd say fall is a safe bet. Depending on how long Mixing takes... Mastering takes a day... then promo - release is at least 3 months

[Papa Prune]

Don't be that optimistic Vesanic. Mixing in April 2020= release in January... 2022.

Let's not forget deftones time is not the same as human time.

Two more years.

[Inkblades]

It does seem like they have been mixing for awhile, but they probably want it as close to perfect after Gore.

yea. Gore has good writing, and good songs, but bad production. doesn't sound good loud. Terry will make this album sound really good

[E-Money]

If they are mixing now it will definitely be out this year. Summer release for sure, maybe fall at the latest. Can't wait to hear what they do with terry. And hope the 9 string doesn't sound too chuggy.

[God]

Frank said April, so there's that...

[Inkblades]

I see this place received a makeover. Looks slick.

If you're really satisfying yourself with your half-assed wit, I feel sorry for you.

By the way, I know who you are. You're only using this forum because I was hoping you had grown some maturity since then. Implied word of advice here.

You may think you understand, but you don't. Don't get butthurt. Some may judge it as hate speech, I'm just stating the obvious. Don't take it personal.

[sharinglungs]

I think Chino's had the biggest audience yet. 4300 people watching right now.. shit..

has anyone noticed the unfinished whiteboard with 10 songs and the loteria cards as song tittles on their IG post from 4/14 ??
