Ohms: pre-release hype thread

[mono]

I miss the sneak peaks we got when they recorded the S/T album. I understand the internet is a very different place today, but watching that small clip of Stef and Abe jamming Hexagram on their old website got me so hyped. I wish they would do that sort of stuff again.

The good old days

I equal parts love and loathe when the board gets super active again. However, this won't stop me from checking it three times a day

Just three times?

Touche it's more like 8

Loved you on the podcast Vesanic! Glad to hear you're as much of a fan of Pink Maggit as I am, I think I could happily retire from concerts if I ever got to experience that in person. Seriously though man, thanks for all that you do for the Deftones community.

Sorry, not to derail too much from the topic at hand!

everything got quiet in the last few hours...calm before the storm? sorry, im just dreaming

The Golden age of  Deftones !!!

So am I, the new single has guest vocals by Justin Bieber. Didn't see that coming

[Lugosi_Jaws]

Wonder if Frank's gonna tease us tonight.

[Inkblades]

Unlikely. He and Crook have been doing those streams for awhile now and it's always funk, hip-hop, soul, etc.

If you like that you'll love the 1st single from Black Stallion: Passenger remix produced by Kanye West and featuring your boy Tekashi 69.

The silence in here this weekend is deafening...Maybe Monday will bring us news.

It's the deep breath before the plunge

The recent events have about doubled the length of this thread in the span of a week. Its ramping up to something, hopefully sooner rather than later.

[Matthewtheloser]

I have a good feeling that something is on the way in this upcoming week. That being said, I had a good feeling that something was coming this past week as well. Am I masochistically putting myself in a position to be let down yet again? Perhaps. Is that going to stop me from being borderline psychotic and checking on the thread every hour on the hour in hopes of some sort of update? Not a chance.

[Matthewtheloser]

On a separate note though, I wonder if Deftones will do another electronically-driven track on the new album (ie Teenager, Lucky You, Pink Cellphone). It's something they haven't done for the past few records, but I would love to hear how they would approach that sound in their modern incarnation. I know these tracks are a point of contention for some of the fans, but I have always loved them and how they contribute to the atmosphere of their respective albums (yes, even Pink Cellphone. It's a cool song aside from the whole buttfucking part).

I'd love a track like that. That experimental "You've Seen The Butcher" demo is pretty cool-- something like that, where the beat changes almost every bar. With Chino gliding over it, it would have a lot going for it.

In general, I'm just curious as to what the "mood" is gonna be for this new album: hopeful and powerful like DE? Gothic and moody like ATF? Some White Pony experimentation? Maybe a little of it all...

[Matthewtheloser]

That one leaked song reminds me of Diamond Eyes the most. Not that it is indicative of how the whole album will sound of course. Something makes me feel like they have a few tricks up their sleeve for this next one

I would see another guest vocalist on the new one. It's a real long shot, but I'd love to see someone like Chelsea Wolfe on a track. Obviously they have been mingling a bit with the Pasadena Daydream Festival and that Saudade track. It's not too far out of the realm of possibility, and I think she'd fit like a glove on a more dreamy Deftones song.

[Roidragee]

I hope there's a song like the Konami Code off SNW in the new album. I miss those types of tracks

I'd be up for that, even though I'm sure fans would automatically dub an electronic track as the worst thing on the album lol. I've also been dying for them to play around with some piano-based music again. They've been very successful the few times they've delved into it - Anniversary, Xerces and FYIHYD. That would be awesome, even if it was just a quick interlude.

[Inkblades]

I'd realistically say two more days, right? And if not two more days, then two more days after those two days.
