c'mon guys ... you have to be smarter than the average deftones bulletin board troll. when the single or album are coming, the band will let us know.

This is amazing.

[Vesanic]

LOL


Anyway I found it on a SL user's facebook, he's kitesvera or newmurderer. Think he found it on tumblr

I'm trying to remember how we first saw the KNY cover. I think we first got a build up to a new song. Leathers it was and had artwork to it when it was posted on deftones.com.

I think it the site that first streamed Tempest had a small thumbnail of the album art

No, Leathers was the first song we all heard.

I remember the KNY cover art popped up somewhere (Amazon or something) before they officially announced it and I thought it was fake, lol. Anyway, I doubt that's the cover for Gore.*

*Hoping I'm wrong again.

Where did that come from? I like the eeriness to it. Between what Chino said to the press last year and now with this rumored tracklist and cover, this is clearly going to be the dark/experimental album of the Sergio era. Getting that vibe big time. Plus, it's their first album since Chi's passing, so there's that.

Oh, and the editor in chief of Alternative Press posted this a few days ago. Maybe he has the album too? https://twitter.com/ptgrw/status/688146501302796289

I asked on Twitter and he said he was just listening to What Happened To You and had good vibes.

[Inkblades]

Huh

You know, the more I look at this, the more I think it's real. The art style is remarkably similar to some of Frank Maddocks' other work, particularly the S/T and SNW booklets. Same grainy aesthetic. I hope it's real, because I'm not sure if anything else could live up to it. And if it isn't his and instead just fan made, then that fan should be designing albums covers for real. Definitely looks like some skill and talent was put into it.

[HooiserBowhunter]

I might be the one of the biggest suckers in the world, but it looks Deftones-ish to me. If not the cover for the album maybe the single.

[RaptureWS]

Does anyone know the source of the cover art?

Vesanic > kitesvera's FB > kitesvera's tumblr > dutchdeftones tumblr. dutchdeftones is slyartwork, right? Am I going in circles here...lol?

I'm now at the point where my obsessive overthinking on all of this is going to ruin me.

[thewanderer]

My first guess was Sly but I didn't want to ruin the joke.

Lol, well, if ya did it, sly, nice work. Looks sick.

I still think their FB header has some play in the new album. It screams "Doomed User" and "Acid Hologram".
I never could figure out what the tie in was with the paper airplanes and the header.

Single artwork perhaps...

[Reichward]

What bothers me with this artwork is that it's too well done: a picture of a girl with a blurry effect and shady colors, it's typical SNW/Team Sleep/Crosses or even KNY in terms of mood. Besides, it pops up from we barely know where just one day after the presumed tracklist leaks. It almost looks like Deftones themselves are spreading the rumors. As much as I'd like to believe it's genuine, it looks too much like something (really well) made by a fan.

[ANattyRat]

Rumors said there was some truth to the tracklist/album title, maybe they're just working titles. I don't know, but Gore would certainly fit in well with an album that Chino said is darker and less optimistic-sounding than the last two. Kind of a boring title, but ah well. This is cool, it's getting very exciting, I just hope we hear some official news soon. It's long overdue.
