If he felt slightly removed on 2016’s Gore, he wastes little time making his presence felt on its follow-up. The metallic attack of ‘Error’ is proof of this, surging forward and pulling the listener along in its wake, with Carpenter’s chugging lead guitar the star of the show. Importantly, the quintet - Chino Moreno, Stephen Carpenter, Frank Delgado, Sergio Vega and Abe Cunningham - are all engaged and raring to go. Rekindling that partnership provides an ideal combination on the Sacramento-based band’s new record.
Perhaps not musically - there’s as much of Adrenaline and Around the Fur’s DNA present here as there is anything else, in that the quintet draw upon their vast back catalogue as reference points - but certainly from a creative standpoint, as this is the first time they’ve had Terry Date behind the boards since 2003’s self-titled album. In some aspects, Ohms finds Deftones going back to their roots.
