I love Deftones! Their last album Koi No Yokan even landed in my Top 5 albums of 2012 (duh!) and it was for good reasons: amazing song writing and execution. There were tons of stand out songs on Koi No Yokan but one of my favorites was “Swerve City” which now has a music video to go along with it. Continue reading »

deftones, Koi No Yokan, March, tour, US
It looks like Deftones will once again hit the road in March for a little trek through the states in support of their amazing new record, Koi No Yokan. No openers have been revealed thus far but the rumors of support from Scars on Broadway again have been dismissed, thankfully. You can view how the tour will run below as well as jam to my favorite track from the new record, “Goon Squad”

I have been impatiently awaiting the release of Deftones new album Koi No Yokan. I mean, I have been anticipating this thing like the motherfucking rapture, you know? With the pure beauty and heaviness that came with Diamond Eyes, I knew the ‘Tones would not let me down. I have been a huge fan of this band for years and years and years, so I know that the band has released numerous albums with their own special flare. Diamond Eyes was something new and interesting and it fucking destroyed. Continue reading »

Deftones have released a colorful and psychedelic new lyric video for their catchy new single “Tempest”. It’s just another lyric video so there really is no need for further explanation. Remember to mark your calendars because Koi No Yokan comes out next month on November 13th! You know you are excited.

As promised, Deftones are currently in the process of filming a new music video for their new single “Tempest”. Deftones have tapped Christopher Mills (Modest Mouse, Interpol, etc) to directing the clip which should arrive in the next few weeks. This guy did Modest Mouse’s “Float On” video (which I have added below for your enjoyment) so I am confident it is in good hands.

Above is the trippy artwork for Deftones’ upcoming record Koi No Yokan, which is out on November 13th. It kind of reminds me of the Saturday Night Wrist artwork in that it features a similar artistic style. This record seriously cannot get here soon enough. If you have been sleeping underneath a rock, check out their new songs “Leathers” and “Tempest”.

Deftones couldn’t wait until the official release date of their new single “Tempest” to show it to you. The single will be available on iTunes on the 9th but you can stream this six minute bad boy below. “Tempest” starts off with ghostly atmospherics and Chino’s soft tenor crooning before the band shifts into a alternative rock swagger with tremendous low end. Chino’s vocals and the intoxicating chorus sound oh so very triumphant. I have a feeling Koi No Yokan is going to be glorious based on the two songs they have released so far. Listen now!

Koi No Yokan comes out on November 13th and I can’t wait!

They also talked about the possibility of Eros seeing the light of day. In the interview the band has stated that they hope to release the song “Swerve City” as the second single with an accompanying video since the record label decided they wanted “Tempest” as the first single instead. This only the first part of the full interview and the other half will be released sometime next week. Check out the video below and keep in mind that “Tempest” will arrive on October 9th.

“Leathers” begins with a haunting, ambient section that hums for the track’s initial seconds. Then out of nowhere the extremely heavy chugging main riff bombards the listener with pure ferocity. Chino’s emotionally charged vocals pierce through the listener like a blade. The track is destructive as well as melodic and will is so infectious that you cannot help but press play again and again and again. Don’t just stand there! Go download it for free now!
Koi No Yokan will be released on November 13th. Check out the official track listing below:
