"Ohms" - Deftones New Album

[Draken]

Looking back it's hard to tell but I know Gore was leaked in low quality on April 3, 2016. There was an April Fools joke "leak" that only had a few songs on it. Up until the actual leak we had already listened to five tracks I believe. So yeah, Gore leaked about five days prior to the official release, and I'd speculate it will be about the same with this new album...

Completely unrelated but the new Dune movie trailer is out, I posted it over in the Cinema/TV section if anyone's interested in checking it out. Looks pretty damn good from what I can tell.

This is definitely (currently) the least I've heard of a new Deftones record before it actually has been released since White Pony. I agree that it feels kinda nice to not have caved into listening to the low quality leaks

Didn't Gore leak extremely late? I don't remember any low quality leaks like for Ohms.

Well.. the low quality sound came on the official release though

I want to say it leaked 5 days prior to its official release.

I remember my brother found Gore on the shelf at Target about 4 days before the release date. He brought it up to check-out along with a bunch of other stuff he had, but it wouldn't scan. Manager came over and said it couldn't be released until the release date and took it from him. He said he didn't know how it ended up on the shelf so early. My brother tried to raise a fuss, but (I'm not sure how true this) the manager said they track the sales dates for new releases so they would get in trouble or fined for selling it early.

Yeah this is 100% true. I was a manager for Target at this time and I brought it to the register and scanned it for fun. It comes up in bright red and all caps saying this product "cannot be sold until (insert release date)" and to give it to a manager/supervisor.

Dude, talk to me about Dune. I'm beyond excited for it! Looks awesome.

I remember this.

The Gore leak was a vinyl rip.

That was a great day. I put whoever that guy was through the ringer to rip the shit correctly

Pretty sure they named the album and Frank Maddocks created the artwork.

Chino looked up and chose the pony clip art for the cover. The logo itself wasn't even designed by them, they just paid for the rights, like the diamond eyes cover. He said it in interview.

DE cover was inspired when Chino was staying with the band's long term Uk publicist/friend. She lives in country barn and has barn owls. From the outset, Chino wanted an owl on the cover and Frank M worked up some ideas.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but the cover of DE is a picture taken by John Ross that was taken before and completely unrelated to the album and was on sale on stock images websites like shutterstock. You can't have a cheaper and lazier way to make an album cover. But I guess it fits the album.

Wasn't that the same band that titled a song "Romantic Dreams."

Anyone else seeing this when they go to Deftones.com?

Yep

[sharinglungs]

Seems like they're maybe doing more teases? It's probably nothing, but funny that the website was just down and came back up with this white bar.

[imbrie]

Yeah maybe. I certainly can't make anything from it though!

[Inkblades]

I would definitely think they'll start teasing again for Genesis. I mean, it's certainly a song good enough to tease for a week.

in all honesty, what's wrong with that title? I always felt like it fit the album aesthetic nicely (and tbh if I had to name KNY after a song that would probably be it)

[sharinglungs]

Well the website was taken down and directed to the "not authorized" page, so whatever they're doing is intentional.

Maybe a teaser for Genesis on Friday?

[Inkblades]

I still get the crossed out Deftones font when I go to deftones.com. Interestingly, when I go to deftones.com/ohms, it says I am not authorized.

[sharinglungs]

Yep sounds like they're working on the site for another teaser like we got for ohms

Just look like an incompetent dev team to me.

[sharinglungs]

I don't think it's incompetence, they've probably got a very skilled team of web developers that work for them.

Taking down an entire page, is no accident, taking down 2 pages, and making physical changes, also no accident.

We'll just have to see what comes of it.

Really, it's broken html and css. and their website never looked super professional to me.
Its current state is all messed up.

Maybe teasing "this link is dead" heh.

Not sure if you guys saw this yet. New song next week confirmed!
