For the second single from Ohms, Deftones tapped writer/ director Leigh Whannell after discovering through Twitter that he is a fan of the band. Leigh is the writer of the early Saw movies and also recently directed The Invisible Man and Insidious 3. The song is used to tell the story of a young woman as she enters a private club where each passage leads to a darker and scarier scenario. Lead singer Chino Moreno said:
“When Leigh tweeted that he was a fan, we immediately thought it would be cool to collaborate with him given the chance. We’re fans of his as well, so it made sense that we should reach out. One moment we’re DM’ing each other on Twitter, and the next we’re on set making ‘Ceremony.’ This has always been the best way for us to collaborate: organically, collaboratively and in this case, expeditiously. We hope everyone enjoys it as much as we had making it.”
