Ohms: pre-release hype thread

[wbasmith]

You guys are building up my hype so bad, just want something confirmed from them. Album art and a teaser would be ideal.

Well actually a single would be ideal but I won't complain

Putting 0925 in plain sight feels too obvious for it to be the release date. Could be wrong obvs.

Maybe whatever's in the plans will go up at 09:25?

30mins...

It's only too obvious to a bunch of obsessive fans like us, the average person visiting the site isn't going to notice anything (are there average people even visiting their site?). We should stop acting like we're dealing in state secrets here. This is a band, and they're just trying to drum up interest for their art in their fans, which clearly has worked.

The full dot image is here: https://www.deftones.com/sites/g/files/g2000005441/f/202008/wLJ2C.png

So it turns out the dot image is inside a "block" called  'album-artwork-release', which is hidden at this moment:



Is this the album cover? Idk, but it's for sure related to the album artwork as the name says.

(sorry mods if this is against the rules)

[wbasmith]

Wtf is it. Code maybe?

Giving away a release date isn't really that much though if the full reveal is coming in the next few hours. It's a tantalising clue I guess.

I'm not holding my breath for a full reveal. Remember how they revealed the Diamond Eyes cover artwork bit by bit in a series of videos? I don't think we even had the release date by then.

You might be right. To me, 0925 fits just well enough to seem like a major clue but not enough to give you anything else.

I'm not expecting a single today. Other than that, it's hard to tell. It might be that this is it for today and the band maybe post an announcement date on their socials?

I don't know, I have a feeling this is going to be the album reveal. You're redirected to this page no matter what address you put in, even just going to deftones.com takes you there. I doubt they would have this teaser up for a substantial amount of time where you can't access anything else on the site, you can't even go to purchase tickets for the upcoming tour. Plus the fact that this is the only accessible page on the website definitely points to this being some sort of big drop.

Yeah it does seem like there's something big coming very soon.

Also - Friday's the ideal day to announce a single to be premiered on Daniel P Carter's Sunday night radio show. Just a theory.

Indeed, as I said, every page redirects to that, that page is called 'Album artwork release', its URL is /0925 (Sept. 25) and has a hidden block with the dotted image on it. It's coming up today probably.

I wonder if they'll keep the dotted image for a couple days, or just announce something today. We will see

Dont think ive ever sat here refreshing so many pages for so long

[Roidragee]

Yeha I have a feeling that's it for today too. Hope im wrong tho

[Matthewtheloser]

I swear to god Vesanic, if that ends up being true, I'm putting all the blame on you for speaking it into existence

[wbasmith]

Well 09:25 came and went :(

[Matthewtheloser]

If something does drop today, it's bound to come at the turn of some hour. Ie, it's 9:28am right now where I'm at, so it'd probably drop at 10 or 11 or something.

Watch 9/25 be the date for a teaser lol
