Also, ††† is pretty nice, yep! Not what I expected initially but still quite okay.

[yawn 3]

Looking forward to the new album. I've liked pretty much everything they've released so far.

Hopefully they'll release a single or something soon!

[Jigsaw9 6783]

Looking forward to the album! Their last one was pretty good too.

[Pandabear 414]

Looking forward to the new album and not just because of the Japanese title. I've liked pretty much everything they've released so far.

Hopefully they'll release a single or something soon!

There's a couple of new songs they've performed live floating around youtube. Like all deftone songs, they sound awsome.

Don't know if these are possible singles, but love'em both. And I'm really looking forward to Koi No Yokan. I consider Diamond Eyes a masterpiece. As awesome as White Pony was, Diamond eyes surpassed it IMO, so I'm curious what they'll do on this new album. Sounds very promising so far.

In an interview with Billboard last month, Deftones frontman Chino Moreno described the album as “not a super fast or slow record. It’s very dynamic.” He added: “Some of my favorite things about Deftones are the dynamics. Yes, we’re a heavy band, but we’re not just in-your-face aggro the whole time, punching you in the face. There’s a lot of aggression in some of the music, but there’s also this very soothing element where there’s a lot of soundscapes rather than attack, attack, attack the whole time. I understand that’s a big part of our sound, but I really feel like we reached a peak on our dynamics on this record with those two qualities — the beauty of something and just straight, ruthless aggression.”

Want the album cover and track list.

What does Koi no Yokan mean?

[Jigsaw9 6783]

^ This is how it was explained in a Blabbermouth article:

"Koi no yokan" is Japanese for a feeling that is similar to (but not exactly the same as) love at first sight. It's the sense a person gets upon meeting someone, where they just "know" they are going to fall in love. It implies that future love is inevitable.

So Deftones released a new track "Leathers" off the upcoming album.

Personally I like the song a lot, the intro is sick.

[Jigsaw9 6783]

Cool, thx for the info. Can't wait~

[Pandabear 414]

They premiered the first official single for the album yesterday. It's amazing! Ko No Yokan is shaping up to be a really epic album.

[Tokage 5930]

tbh leathers is cooler but this is AOTY list material for sure so far

[Jigsaw9 6783]

Yeah, I liked the first promo track more too, this one's alright I guess.

[Pandabear 414]

Official artwork work for the album.

Looks vague, modern and beautiful.

And while Leathers had a more aggressive feel The Tempest had more of metalgaze tone. It slowly built up and had all the dynamics shifts the band keeps saying will be more prominent on their new album.

[Jigsaw9 6783]

Awesome cover!!!

Also, I think I remember reading that they'll make a music video for The Tempest as well.

[Jigsaw9 6783]

Yet another new track:

The new album is incredible. I finally got my copy and it's safe to say it's easily one of the best albums for 2012. Diamond Eyes was already better than White Pony and KoI No Yokan surpassed Diamond Eyes. Deftones never disappoint. Will be back for an album review.

[Jigsaw9 6783]

I agree, the new album is really nice! Great atmosphere & songs.

[Neon 6]

This new album is so mind blowing ,

sometimes I think that this and White Pony is best deftones albums

[Jigsaw9 6783]

^ I agree! Though I'm partial to Diamond Eyes, and Around the Fur too~

RIP Chi...
