The 10th Deftones Studio Album Grief and Coping Support Group

Case probably is that its mostly the label controlling stuff after the album is completed musically. Although him saying late summer completely adds up with the teasers thus far, which are also probably instructed by their label.

Next time stef is on the greenthumb podcast, most likely Tuesday, I'm going to try and ask him a question about the snake tongue logo from the meet and greet photos and the website icon/tour poster.

He'll say, I don't know anything about this, maybe it's a reference, maybe not, I don't know anything at all lol

But it would be interesting to know what he would say

[sharinglungs]

Doesn't hurt to ask, maybe the more we ask the more he'll spill lol

Think there's any chance the delay is from figuring out legal stuff with Fred in the wake of Sergio's departure? Or even if there's anything they used that Sergio would have any contribution to before that?

[Dawnofwar2010]

Honestly when this album releases it's just gonna be another album now, all my hype is pretty much gone, because how empty the news for it has been, yay new music cool.

Nope

When the album does come out, we're all going to look back at this thread and laugh.

Does anyone else also dislike Steph's guitar work from Diamond Eyes onwards?

He became like such a generic metal player.

I only look forward to what Chino, Abe and Frank do tbh...

It's different..but I wouldn't say I dislike it.  There's some interesting riffs peppered here and there from DE and on, but I feel like the band as a whole was more creative with chord changes and "strange" hooks/song composition when Chi was still around.  I'm sure I'm not the only one who divides the discography into 2 eras.

[Inkblades]

^ Everything you said is on point. He still busts out cool stuff from time to time, but I do feel like his riffs had more complexity in the Chi era. Often a more unique tone, too. And I definitely separate those two eras as well. Most fans likely do.

I could be wrong here, but I think Stephen, Abe, Frank and Fred Sablan wrote some of this new album while Chino was busy with Crosses, so that will hopefully tell Stephen "Oh, I'm not just adding a little part to one of Chino's songs" and allow him to get a little more adventurous.

@tokyodrifter Looks like you've woken up ... Care to share something with us?

Holy f*ck, I had a feeling yesterday that he would come back tomorrow and so it happened!

[Zabytoyee]

He deleted his last comment that read "you want action?" and now his last comment... "two more hours" 

[TwixPheonix]

Yeah, he had 23 posts now he cut that down to 8. We want action, tokyo!!!

[Zabytoyee]

Maybe this means the 8th month-August? 

I don't think he just decided to delete his posts for no reason

And just recently, Stef said that the album could be released at the end of the summer

[TwixPheonix]

It could, pretty specific thing of him to do. Lets not dig too deep though and see if he replies.

[sharinglungs]

We're back boys! New Conspiracy!

[Inkblades]

Giving us hints by deleting his post history would be next level evil.

[sharinglungs]

Tokyodrifter post count = 8

What does an 8 look like sideways?
