New deftones is always good news.

band sucks!!!¡ !¡ !!¡ ¡ ¡ !

oh fuck yes

Eros no bueno

will be good methinks

album is going to rule hard, so excited

AWWWWWW YEAHHHHHHHHHH

Also, NEEDS MORE EROS.

yessssssss

no reason to bring up eros

With Chino's description, it sounds like they'll be embracing a lot more electronic influences in their music. I know they've always incorporated things like trip-hop, but I would be surprised if they didn't use a lot more of it this go around.

agreed

YES!!!!!!!!!

Yeah given what Chino's been up to lately in Crosses I'm sure hes gonna bring more electronic influence to the table this time

I can't wait. Fuck yeah, awesome news!

sweet

this will rule. they should release Eros as a bonus disc or something idk i'm from australia i'm dumb

I wish they would release Eros but they probably won't until Chi is in good condition.

Sweet, something to look forward to for sure.

Oh happy day!

First time reading news for an album I'm actually excited about

Chi will never be in "good" condition, I'm sorry to say.

You don't bounce back from a TBI of that order.

Pretty sure Diamond Eyes was my Aoty in 2010, so I'm sure this will be awesome.

Awesome news, looking forward to this

Sweet. Can't wait for this. "Heavy but beautiful" is basically Deftones in a nutshell.

Loved Diamond Eyes, hope this is good.

sweet

YYYYEEESS!

Doesnt matter if it's overhyped. Still gunna rule.

GOOD.

Nick Raskulinecz will return as producer.

So he will continue to drag this band down further? All they really did on their last album was cover up some shitty nu-metal riffs with an ambient effect. Fuck this band sucks so much now.

wow

.........yeah..so many Nu-metal riffs in Diamond Eyes. Pisses meh off!1!

Hopefully it will be as good as White Pony. I love that album!

lol i wanna hear what you think a "nu-metal" riff is

best news i've heard so far this year

they should release Eros as a bonus disc or something idk i'm from australia i'm dumb

well then i'm dumb too cause i want eros dammit

I can't wait. Fuck yeah, awesome news! [2]

best news i've heard so far this year [2? 3?]

I'm guessing it'll either be pretty good with one or two gems, or epic throughout.

The only song I know that I can't stand from them is Diamond Eyes' self titled track. As long as it doesn't sound like that,
I'm onboard.

it'll b a 4 but ill 3.5 it because everyone else will 5 it

Potato; the equalizer.

Awesome news because I listened to Diamond Eyes waaaaaay too much and honestly I "blew a fuse" with that album and now I can't get into it anymore.

Same here. I listened to diamond eyes relentlessly and now I can't really enjoy it anymore

yea lessdewit

I listen to White Pony relentlessly and I can listen to it again

Not a dry pair of pants on this site

Was just talking about how i wish my favorite band would put out another album soon.... nice

Yay!

Better than Diamond Eyes, now that's a challenge

Chi can move his fingers now. He should be able to play bass in a few years.

I'll always be excited for new Deftones material. The best part of this is that they'll be touring again, though. I saw Deftones with The Dillinger Escape Plan last year and that was easily the best show I've ever been to in my life.

^ haahaha

"I know everybody says this"

Well, he knows that everyone is saying it, so his awareness must mean that him saying it is legit, right? RIGHT?!?!

I don't actually listen to this band.

You've at least got to hear Knife Party

Anyone that doesn't like that song has no valid opinions

Where's Eros?! But I'm also excited for this.

.......yeah..so many Nu-metal riffs in Diamond Eyes. Pisses meh off!1!

Limp Bizkit-esque riffing

jump da fuk up ya'll

putting on my dickie shorts and DC's...watch out IM ABOUT TO BREAK

"So he will continue to drag this band down further? All they really did on their last album was cover up some shitty nu-metal riffs with an ambient effect. Fuck this band sucks so much now."

I'm at a loss as to how a user I usually respect could post something so incredibly idiotic

whats so idiotic about the post, are you denying there are shitty nu-metal riffs

Diamond Eyes is right up there with White Pony as one of Deftones' best. I'm hoping for some kickass new tracks in the coming months and another big tour, but topping the BlackDiamondSkye tour with Alice in Chains and Mastodon will be pretty tough.

Still, can't help but get excited when new Deftones music is on the way.

*plays Diamond Eyes*

*hears nu-metal riff*

wtf Diamond Eyes had awesome riffs

Awesome news to wake up to

What timezone are you in

Heavy and Beautiful, Dynamic and Futuristic? Sounds like everything i could ask for in a new release

YESSSSSSSSSS

I loved them ever since Hybrid Theory

Hmm reckon it will be out by the end of the year?

So he will continue to drag this band down further? All they really did on their last album was cover up some shitty nu-metal riffs with an ambient effect. Fuck this band sucks so much now.

greatest rock studio vocalist

WIN!

Wasn't trying to sound like I was dissing him, love Chino to death and he's a great singer. It's just that there are many rock vocalists who arduously practice to strengthen their live voices, I'd feel uneasy giving him the title

Fucking yes.

オナニー材料。
Onanī zairyō.

When i saw Chino live he was fucking flawless. Luck of the draw I guess.

YES!!! Great news

NU METAL RIFFS@!????? NO!!

lol i wanna hear what you think a "nu-metal" riff is

I'm at a loss as to how a user I usually respect could post something so incredibly idiotic

just want to post this again so those new to the thread can witness it.

Of course I expect a rash response to my post but lets not deny the downtuned, simplistic nature of a bunch of open power chords that is a staple of nu-metal. I'm just curious as to what all of you consider nu-metal? It's like "whoa, I don't like nu-metal cuz I might get shot down on Sputnik so the Deftones couldn't be nu-metal". They still have alot of Around the Fur and White Pony to them, it just feels like they've white-washed their aggression and I personally think it sucks.

I think it will be like Around the Fur+Diamond Eyes

always a good thing

Deftones = Nu Metal.
Nu Metal = Shit.
Thus, Deftones² = Shit².

And that's the stupidest argument ever. Just listen the fucking music and judge it critically, not according to what genre you believe they play.

I seriously cannot wait for this to be released

sweeeeeeeet

I don't think they are able to put out 2 excellent albums in a row.

And that's the stupidest argument ever. Just listen the fucking music and judge it critically, not
according to what genre you believe they play which is nu metal

This album will be so good it will cause Nick Greer to write another review.

User Deviant will probably take care of it

Oh.

I've seen the tones 5 times and Chino was amazing every time. He hits every note unless he's epically drunk, and even then he hits 97% of them. Also his inhuman high pitched screams are so unique, I've never seen them from anyone else.

this will probably rule, last album rivals their best work.

yea deftones don't release subpar material

Chi can move his fingers now. He should be able to play bass in a few years.

So he will continue to drag this band down further? All they really did on their last album was cover up some shitty nu-metal riffs with an ambient effect. Fuck this band sucks so much now.

lol yea i saw it

but Diamond Eyes had awesome production, and some cool riffs, although if you're listening to deftones for riffage then that's probably the main problem. It's like listening to Metallica for the lyrics.

Yeah I really liked most of the riffs on DE. I'll admit that they're usually fairly simplistic, but writing them off as nu-metal is pretty stupid.

I don't see the association w/ nu metal. in any case, the riffs kicked balls for the most part on DE. that doesn't mean they should stop trying to progress though...

futuristic and more dynamic...yeah I'm excited about this

will be 5d by many and left on the popular album charts foreverrrrrrrr

so many idiots in this thread. I'm so fucking excited for this, I still need to listen to Diamond Eyes more.

So he will continue to drag this band down further? All they really did on their last album was cover up some shitty nu-metal riffs with an ambient effect. Fuck this band sucks so much now.

only have ever heard two Deftone songs

fuck nu-metal! This band shouldn't even be associated with that shitty genre of metal because they are way better then any of those nu-metal shit bands.

they are associated with nu-metal coz nu-metal

As far as I understand it, the basic definition of nu-metal is just metal with some elements of grunge or hip hop. Nothing wrong with that. Just because a genre is mostly bad doesn't make every band of that genre bad. Also @ Diamond Eyes there's a difference between "overhyped" and "highly anticipated"

blah @ silly people

I just bought Saturday Night Wrist on Vinyl, all their stuff is amazing

"オナニー材料。
Onanī zairyō."



Agreed.

I don't know I figure there is way more to this band then just quote-on-quote "nu-metal riffs".This band has dynamics especially on Diamond Eyes where there is some atmospheric parts blended into the songs.Sure maybe they're not super prominent in the songs but they're still there and the guitars are doing a lot of interesting things as well.

Deftones definitely have Nu-metal influence, but they somehow make it sound relevant and "cool".

Deftones has never really made anything that's not pretty simplistic. Technicality and mad riffs have never been the point. The totally unique spin they bring to the music is. DE was their least original recording, but whatevs still owned. Still had chino.

Can't wait to hear it

Can't wait for Emim to change his avatar.

Really looking forward to new Deftones. However I think 'Diamond Eyes' is their weakest album & is overrated, still a solid disc though. 'Saturday night wrist' is far better.

SNW and WP are awsome albums, looking forward for some more deftones

Best Post-nu-metal band evar!

Deftones are amazing, Chino is God, even if some of the band's work (mostly very early material) has nu-metal elements, they have transcended that label, etc etc.

Saturday Night Wrist > Diamond Eyes > White Pony > Self Titled > Around the Fur > Adrenaline.

around the fur is so fucking nasty
