Ohms: pre-release hype thread

[Roidragee]

I wish there was a website just hiding something in plain sight that would be easy to find, but you would need to know where to look first... but no... there isn't.

Funny thing, though... After going to https://www.deftones.com/ohms, you'll get back "you are not authorized to view this page" message, while after typing any other random word after slash you'll get "oops, The link below might help you find the page you had in mind" message.

Good find, wonder how long they've had that page up in private.

Seems they are using Drupal, which is site management system for non-coders. Maybe record label folks are working on page for new album and gave it this obvious url, which for now is accessible only with admin access.

Take this with a pinch of salt, though. We are all biased here...

It does and it clearly wasn't like this an hour ago.

Seems that someone is working on this page right now as we speak. This could mean we're really close to announcement now.

From digging around, nothing can be found/accessed on the site, but it does mean that they're setting it up, they have the domain and it does bring you to a separate page compared to a page that doesn't exist. The site might not be uploaded yet or if it is it's a private page for admins only.

The fact that it now redirects the URL to capital letters when it didn't before is certainly interesting. How long before we see whats behind the curtains who knows... lets keep speculating!

Y'all are crazy! That being said. Keep it up

Someone could write a script that pings the address every so often and compares the content... then you'd know pretty much as soon as it was updated.

You first.

funny timing for SL to go dead... lol.. now the website doesn't redirect to capital letters. They are actively or were actively working on that website today.

Edit : it does on my phone... But it wasn't doing it on my pc just now... Will double check again in a little bit.

Doing some debugging at deftones.com/ohms (nothing fancy lol, it's pretty easy) I came across a piece of HTML showing that their sublabel is Big Beat Records. I remembered a few posts ago discussing about the sublabel they're signed to.

At least for me pretty much every time after I clear the cache it reloads with capital letters.
