Deftones - Ohms (September 25, 2020) Album • Page 72

Honestly my first thought was a Eros song

 

if they drop eros I might actually regain some enthusiasm for this band

 

Oh man, if that happened I'd be euphoric.

 

If you go on their subreddit, the first post has the cover art. Not posting it here because I don't know how to spoiler photos on this forum.

 

Also what's up with the Around The Fur artwork when I google "Deftones"

 

I'd be very surprised if it was an Eros song.

 

Well they dropped Smile randomly and that was an Eros track. Not at all saying they will but the title made me think of Eros. Due to the fact supposedly the only thing we know about it is most of the track titles are named after females.

 

Did they officially release "Smile?"

 

They did in ‘13 or ‘14 on YouTube. Never was put on streaming for some reason

 

didn’t they say there were like 2 tracks that didn’t make the cut for Ohms? maybe one of those?

 

No I'm pretty sure it hadn't really been mixed. Chino just uploaded the version he had available onto YouTube.

 

Ya'll. I hate to change the subject for just a second, but if you love Deftones/Thrice/Alternative metal in general, check out the new double album by Vexes called Imagine What We Could Destroy /// If Only Given Time. It dropped today and it's incredible.

 

That track called "Daisy Forgive Me" is out in New Zealand with a VPN since the release date is tomorrow. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but... it's not a real Deftones song. Looks like some random person somehow uploaded a track to streaming services under Deftones' name. Sounds like a slightly modified version of the instrumental for Loathe's "Two-Way Mirror" in poor quality... with a producer tag and someone talking over it at the beginning (lol)

 

Well that’s disappointing.

 

Didn't think it sounded like a very convincing title

 

Lame

 

What is FoD?

 

It was going to come out on SNW but it never made it past the demo stage.

 

Ah. Thanks.

 

Incredibly disappointing.

 

If it's any consolation @LightWithoutHeat, I've always suspected a proper studio version of Finger Of Death wouldn't have matched up to that one. I reckon they were still trying things out with it at that stage and and Chino was probably still experimenting a little on the melodies and words; it just happens that those really odd, haunting, almost anti-melody note choices, and the unhuman screaming in the breakdown, gives the song this extra untamed feeling that really hits. I imagine some of that feel would have been ironed out by the time they finished it. The song title itself feels very much like a placeholder.

 

2 years old today, let's get a hbd in the chat. One of my favourites of the 2020s so far.

 

Wow it does not feel 2 years old. Time is crazy

 

wow 2 years already? This album is still so good. Have bee spinning my vinyl copy non stop this month
