The Deftones have released a short teaser for a new song from their upcoming album Ohms. The track is called “Genesis” and will premiere online this Thursday, September 17th at 11PM/CST.
The first single and title track of the record was released at the end of August. In an interview with NME, Deftones frontman Chino Moreno discussed the meaning of the song “Ohms.”
“As the last song on the record, it’s kind of sung in retrospect – it’s looking back not just at the batch of songs that come before it, but our lives and our surroundings. The verses are reflecting, but the chorus kind of says, ‘Yes this, but this‘ – it’s saying that time will change with the decisions we make. It’s a question and an answer.
“The very first line of the song is ‘We’re surrounded by debris of the past’. That’s not directly about one thing. It could be about an experience or a relationship, but honestly in my mind I was thinking about the environment, the world and the Earth. The chorus is saying that we’re going to remain here together and nothing’s going to change that.
It’s a dichotomy of reflecting on negative things, but coming out of it optimistic.”
Due to Coronavirus, Deftones were forced to reschedule their tour with Gojira and Poppy. That show is now scheduled for Saturday, August 14th 2021 at The Rave.
The new album Ohms is due out on September 25th. You can pre-order your copy HERE.
