Title: Koi No Yokan
Artist: Deftones
Year of Release: 2012
Deftones have been a band I’ve always admired ever since Diamond Eyes unleashed its power to my ears back in 2010. They’ve persevered on throughout the years in their career; be it the years where they struggled to stand out in a myriad of alt-metal bands in the late-90s, when they risked losing fans by experimenting heavily on their signature sound, internal conflict and of course, when bassist Chi Cheng met with an unfortunate accident in 2008 that has since left him bedridden and semi-conscious. Deftones are a resilient bunch and have been churning out solid material for the past few years. After Chi’s accident, the band as a whole was put into question; what happens next?
