DEFTONES have launched a fundraising campaign called "Adopt-A-Dot" where fans can make a charitable donation for one or multiple dots from the thousands of pixelated dots that comprise the cover art — created by Frank Maddocks — of the band's forthcoming album "Ohms".

About UC Davis Children's Hospital: UC Davis Children's Hospital is the Sacramento region's only nationally ranked, comprehensive hospital for children, offering children and their families the highest level of care for virtually every pediatric condition.

"Ohms" will arrive on September 25 via Warner. The album was recorded at Henson Studios in Los Angeles, California and Trainwreck Studios in Woodinville, Washington.

12,995 dots comprise the #Ohms album cover, and we’re inviting you to become a part of it. By adopting a dot on the...
