Thanks man! It's a pure coincidence that it was released alongside Koi No Yokan, but I am very happy about that!
Rammikin16th November 2012Wow, what a great ear you have for what sounds good musically. Is it a coincidence you did this the day before the new album came out?

Hey there GMC guys and gals!
It's time to talk a bit about one of my favorite modern metal bands - Deftones! I didn't like them too much when I was younger because I couldn't understand the subtle nuances, the atmosphere, the sound and the song writing behind this band, but as i grew up, I realized that I was missing out on a great band making great music.
About the Deftones?
Deftones are an American alternative metal band from Sacramento, California, founded in 1988. The band consists of Chino Moreno (lead vocals and guitar), Stephen Carpenter (guitar), Chi Cheng (bass), Frank Delgado (keyboards and turntables), and Abe Cunningham (drums and percussion). Since 2009, Sergio Vega has been standing in on bass while Cheng recovers from a car accident. They have released six albums to date, with three Platinum (Adrenaline, White Pony, Around the Fur) and one Gold certification (for the self-titled album). - Wikipedia
