Following the announcement of their eagerly awaited album Ohms – arriving on September 25th 2020 on Reprise / Warner Records – with its title track and video last month, Grammy Award-winning, lauded band Deftones have unveiled an eruptive new track and video “Genesis.” The video is directed by Sebastian Kökow with live performance direction and cinematography by Clemente Ruiz.
Ohms has fast become one of the most anticipated albums arriving this fall making fall-preview lists from Rolling Stone, UPROXX, Pitchfork, Consequence of Sound and more. “Genesis,” an album standout produced by Terry Date and Deftones, lands just one week before Ohms. With the album on the horizon and the title track being most added at rock radio as well as amassing more than 6.3 million streams, 3 million of which were music video views, Ohms is set to be one of their biggest albums to date.
Recorded at Henson Studios in Los Angeles, CA and Trainwreck Studios in Woodinville, WA, Ohms is an other-worldly body of work meticulously crafted by the 5 piece band. It is a magnificent tour de force and their first album in 4 years since the critically acclaimed Gore LP in 2016 which debuted at #1 on the ARIA chart.
The band, which includes Chino Moreno, Frank Delgado, Stephen Carpenter, Abe Cunningham, and Sergio Vega, has produced a dense LP with every member firing on all cylinders. The album also boasts a familiar collaborator in veteran producer and engineer Terry Date, who worked on 1995’s Adrenaline, 1997’s Around the Fur and 2000’s White Pony. All of the above assembles and sets the stage to deliver Ohms; 10 tracks of raw escapism and unparalleled grooves that have made Deftones’ sound singular for over two decades.
This year also marks the 20 year anniversary of Deftones’ monumental album White Pony. In a virtual press conference for the 20th anniversary of the seminal body of work, the band announced that they would be releasing a companion remix album titled Black Stallion, an idea conceived during the original album’s creation. Before it was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the band was scheduled to set out on a North American Summer tour.
