Deftones shared “Ohms,” the first track from the upcoming 10-song album, which is also called Ohms.  The video for the song was directed by Rafatoon. The band has been teasing out information about the release over the past week or so, though they did say that a new album was coming “hopefully” in September. Ohms follows 2016’s Gore, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, for their highest-charting album since their 2003 self-titled record. The band has been cryptically teasing the release, announcing the title, artwork and on-sale date yesterday (Aug. 20). [embedded content] Ohms was recorded at Henson Studios and Trainwreck Studios. The band worked with producer Terry Date, who they collaborated with on 1995’s Adrenaline, 1997’s Around the Fur&nbs...

Over the weekend, the Deftones blacked out their socials and have since been sharing throwback lyrics. And as of today (Aug. 18), it hasn’t stopped. As previously reported, the profile photos on their social media accounts have been replaced with the color black. And on the California band’s website, you can only see a sign-up option for something — their newsletter (Sure!) or some special release (Possibly?). And the most striking thing about the Deftones’ website is the URL, which ends with “0925,” which could point to a Sept. 25 release date. Deftones drummer Abe Cunningham said that he hoped for new music to drop in September. So the speculation of the website URL isn’t so far-fetched. And while there are no other details about new material in 2020, Cunningham accidentally shared a sni...

Deftones are teasing something — and all signs point to the release of their anticipated new album. As Loudwire points out, the band recently updated all its social media profile pictures to black frames, with the Facebook image directing fans to its website. The website is a static black screen with white pixels slowly coming into focus to form a square. Could it be album artwork? Though this is interesting, the real clue is in the URL itself (https://www.deftones.com/0925). The numbers likely translate to a date — Sept. 25 — which happens to be a Friday, the day albums are released. A Sept. 25 release date makes total sense, considering Deftones’ drummer Abe Cunningham recently said the album would “hopefully” drop in September after revealing it had been completed during quarantine and ...

After accidentally sharing a snippet of new material back in April, drummer Abe Cunningham revealed Deftones’ anticipated new album is on to the mastering stage and will “hopefully” drop in a few short months. “We actually tracked everything over the summer, last summer — June and July — we were in the studio tracking,” Cunningham explained during an interview at Download Festival TV on Saturday. “But we actually just completed everything. … We were down in LA recording, but we mixed up in Seattle.” “We’re working with our old pal Terry Date, who did a bunch of our earlier records and stuff, too,” he continued. “He’s up there [in Seattle] with this whole distancing thing; it was a bit rough, but we figured out a way to kind of do the mixes without being there.” “It’s a lot better when we’r...
