Deftones Release Vinyl Edition Of ‘Koi No Yokan’, Outline Spring Tour

January 22nd, 2013

Dayton O'Connor

Metal innovators Deftones have something today for all their fans with record players. Really, for just 5,500 of their fans, to be precise.

The group will be releasing a couple different vinyl iterations of their most recent effort, 2012’s Koi No Yokan, today. Fans have their pick of three offerings (though you just know a handful of people are going to get all three, because they’re insufferable completists like that):

The standard retail version pressed on 140-gram black vinyl (3,000 copies)
The direct to consumer version that boasts 180-gram black vinyl with foil-stamped, numbered jackets (1,000 copies)
The Hot Topic exclusive version pressed on 140-gram clear vinyl (1,500 copies)

Jesus vinyl nerds, pick your slack jaws off the floor. And wipe up of that pool of saliva. I know this is cool but keep your composure.

Deftones will also be hitting the road in March in support of Koi No Yokan. Check out Deftones’ full spring tour dates after the jump.
