listen: palms – patagonia

chino moreno’s new side project with the isis dudes, palms, has settled in on a single for their new self-titled album, which drops on june 25th. everything sounds great, and i can’t believe we’re getting a chino side project in a timely fashion. remember how long it took for that team sleep LP to come out?

R.I.P. Chi Cheng (1970-2013)

late last night, chi cheng’s heart stopped after several years of being in a coma after his horrific 2008 car accident. after an official announcement was posted on oneloveforchi, fans from all over spread the word, along with many words of love and support. the deftones have been one of my personal favorite bands since i was in 7th grade (that’s the year 1999), and a band that’s shaped the way i listened to rock music over the last decade. as i was on wiki looking up his age, i just found out a pretty neat fact: i shared a birthday with him.

godspeed, chi. RIP. lets all listen to deftones today.

show recap: deftones [san antonio, tx] (november 15, 2012)


photo credit: weworemasks

Deftones have remained one of my favorite bands since I was in middle school. It was then that I discovered the furious Around the Fur, which ultimately led to White Pony – which changed my entire outlook on the boundaries of heavy music and how limitless it was. Since White Pony, the band that’s 2 years younger than me (that’s 24 for you math wizards) has released four great and strangely consistent albums, including the most recent, Koi No Yokan, which came out earlier this week on November 13th. The Texas stint of their current tour were the first dates after the release, so it was to be expected that the band’s set would lean heavily towards it, but that wasn’t the case.

[Note: Sorry for the weak photos. My main squeeze Sunbear wasn't in attendance. Oh and there was no photo pit, either!]

Hit the jump for the review.

stream: deftones – tempest (2012)

ok so the deftones are no strangers to the LOST reference, and “tempest” follows suit. and shit, even if it’s not a LOST reference, it is in here (points to heart). “tempest” is the second release from their new LP, koi no yokan, which is out nov. 13. what’s more exciting is that there is no ounce of delay and it looks like we’ll actually have this beautiful shit on release day.
