You're telling me
Bless you, Ves. Props for your hard work the last few weeks and the stick you've got for doing it.

I 100% did not know what to expect before listening to the song and it still surprised me in every way imaginable. I really can't think of one song in their catalogue that sounds like this. Funny how I was pretty frightened of just how low Steph would go now that he got a 9-string, but this sounds like it could be played on a 6-string. As always, loved the song titles too.

Quote from: Frozen Curry on Aug 20, 2020, 01:42 PMI don't like it that the closing track is the first single... also the song doesn't have a closing feel to it. In my opinion this should be the opener or maybe one of the first three songs of the album...
we're hearing it out of context tho, we have (officially) no idea what the other songs sound like
i'm confused??

I'm so emotional lol.

Wish my best mate was still around to hear this he'd be so stoked.

Single dropped 1 week before the "anniversary" of his death, RIP brother.

Thank you Deftones! <3


Cheers to your friend buddy !!

Not generally a fan of hearing the closing track as the first single but I like that it's a change up - everyone usually expects a Deftones closer to be a more obviously experimental, darker song, so Ohms closing could be a really cool switch in the context of the album.

I love the album cover.

Catchy closing songs like this one have an advantage: as soon as its done you want to start up the album again!

Also dont forget that Swerve City was supposed to be the closer of KNY.

I feel like "This Link is Dead" is gonna be the LMIRL of the album. I'm super excited to hear it.
And I'm getting those eyes tattooed on me.

I think it probably will make me do that. The song rips.

We're finally here.

So after ALL that effort, they don't even officially announce it, they just throw it on iTunes lol. Tracklist looks super intriguing though. Not a big fan of the artwork but I dig it for it's connection to the album title, and I'd be interested in hearing their reasoning in interviews. Can't wait to listen to the song!

GAH where are you non-NZ folks hearing it?

If Deftones are good for anything aside from music, it's making me feel like an entitled, impatient child.

I think the only bad thing about this track is that it's too short. It feels like it should go much longer, is this the track that had a 12-min long demo that Chino talked about?

Someone already made an attempt on Genuis Lyrics

If they would've read the Kerrang piece they would've realized the first line is
