"Ohms" - Deftones New Album

[Hesperian Death-Horse!]

Is Pompeji pronounced Pom-pay-hee? Or Pom-pay-jee?

Germans write it pompeji and it should be pronounced pom-pay-ee

Man, when I saw that title for the first time I just imagined it was a blend of the words "Pompeii" and "Jumanji" like is if it were mystical game like Jumanji but the only crazy effect that happened was that it created the volcanic destruction of that town to the players. What the fuck is with me?

Thanks for the knowledge.

I know it's down to my own preferences so it may sound a bit dumb, but which bundle would you recommend for pre-order? I was never really into merch but might just cave this time around

I've bought all versions but no clothes this time. Anyway, any version with the clear LP + zine would be good and with limited availability.

Now you got me wondering why they chose that name in the German spelling. There has to be a reason I mean come on. And this is nothing against Germans because I am German but it's so random now that I know that. I love the idea though even more and I've heard that it's going to b revered as a Deftones classic today even though it's one person's opinion I can't wait to hear this one. Guys I really have a feeling this album is going to be top dog to a lot of people and I really think that everyone is going to like it as far as Deftones fans go. The hype just ran over the top...

I think Pompeji and Spell of Mathematics will be top 10 songs.

It's an illusion, it's all an illusion.

Okay, looking at the chorus.fm thread on Ohms and a guy named Drew Beringer (who I think owns chorus.fm) has an advance copy. Here's what he said on This Link Is Dead:

"it's heavy but it's not WGTB heavy - the comparison that review is making might be more towards how Chino's screams sound"

Some of his other thoughts on the album:

"some of the best Deftones songs ever are on this album - it's not so much a return to roots, it's more that the energy and excitement is back."

"this album is essentially all the best parts of SNW, KNY, and Gore put together."

"changes every day but my favorites right now are Ceremony Pompeji This Link Is Dead and Radiant City"

"pompeji will be regarded as an all time great Deftones song."

To be honest, the idea that his screams might be the heaviest since WGTB is basically higher praise than musically, since even now they're perfectly capable of heavy music.

Obviously all of this is very subjective, but still gets me hyped for the album. Everyone's favourite Gore song was Rubicon and it's my least favourite from the album lol (except for Xenon, but I still enjoy that song a lot). There's no guarantee that an album will be as good to every individual as its reviews make it sound, but definitely gives you a more concrete idea of what to expect, which is cool.

As for Pompeji, I thought it was a Japanese word but I googled it and all I could find was "Pompeii" so I assumed Google thought it was a typo. Didn't know it was the German word for Pompeii, that's pretty cool. I hope an interviewer asks why that title/spelling.

I think Pompeji and Spell of Mathematics will be top 10 songs.

Can you say if either of those are slow songs like a Sextape type?

I hope we get one of those slower atmospheric songs on the album 🤞

Nah, they might have slower parts, but I think Pompeji is closer to sextape than anything else, but it's still incomparable.. I've only heard about a minute of Pompeji to be fair, so I don't know how it starts or ends.

I hope it's a top 10 song for you then.

Looks like someone really fucked up at Amazon, the German listing for Ohms pre-order includes 15 sec snippets of every song on the record. Getting really strong Hole in the Earth vibes from Spell of Mathematics, everything sounds pretty experimental and new ground for the tones... Thank you Terry!
