Koi No Yokan, the seventh studio album from Sacramento's Deftones, came out on Reprise on November 12, 2012, and its title is a Japanese phrase meaning "premonition of love". Nick Raskulinecz produced it, and it would be his last Deftones record until Private Music in 2025.
Chino Moreno's voice drifts between a sigh and a scream, Stephen Carpenter's guitars grind low and heavy, Abe Cunningham hits with his usual swing, Sergio Vega holds down the bass and Frank Delgado paints the edges with keys and samples. The result is alt-metal with a shoegazer's heart, crushing and dreamy in the same breath, and "Tempest" is where it all comes together. Critics fell hard for it. It sold an estimated 65,000 copies in its first week, entered the Billboard 200 at No. 11 and the Top Rock Albums chart at No. 5, and by July 2025 had passed 350,000 in the US.
