Deftones Master Duality: Loud & Soft Unite
11 Aug
Summary
- Album Ohms balances harsh and gentle impulses simultaneously.
- Deftones achieve a new effortless mastery in their sound.
- The band explores a plane beyond the loud vs. quiet dichotomy.
Deftones' ninth album, Ohms, has arrived, showcasing a new level of effortless brilliance. The band has achieved a remarkable feat, integrating their most extreme and delicate musical tendencies into a cohesive whole.
This album ventures beyond the typical loud-quiet structure that defined earlier rock music. Instead, Ohms offers a sound where aggressive riffs and tender melodies coexist, creating a unique sonic experience. Tracks like "Urantia" exemplify this, beginning with heavy distortion before transitioning into spacious, tender arrangements.
On Ohms, Deftones further explore this innovative approach. Songs such as "The Spell of Mathematics" combine eerie synthesizers with heavy guitars, while "Error" features melodic vocals against grinding feedback. This allows the band to indulge in their full spectrum of impulses simultaneously, a significant evolution for their sound.
