The album was supposed to go to mix May 1st, but we ran out of time in the studio, and will have to resume recording once this tour is done. Unfortunately, this means the record probably won't come out until fall now, but the quality of the record is the top priority, and we have to put our all into the final product. I can assure you what we have done sounds great, and this really is a different record for us. I think it will surprise people once it's out there. We are playing a new untitled song on the tour, and it seems to be going over great."

Along with the writing, major revamping has gone into The Spot, and from the sounds of it, it's definitely paying off. All of this work has allowed us to do what we've wanted for the longest time, record a record at our place, on our time, on our dime. Feels so good to be back with Terry and Scotty. Spirits are high (and so is Stef). We're on our way to making the best Deftones record yet!"

Jason is a great producer and he has had some really great ideas that we tried out and all most every time they worked out wonderfully. It's lookin like it's gonna be 11 new songs. We have a cover in the works but I'm not gonna let the cat out of the bag yet. Don't worry it's a pretty sweet song and it's not some song from the 80's like every other band does. It's a great song that never really got the attention it deserved. So yeah, 11 new ATR originals. Lots of em are kinda short. Which I like cause I have ADD so bad it's crazy. Some stuff is very different from anything we've done before. That makes me pretty happy. We don't wanna be the band that puts out the same disc two or three times in a row. There's some pretty rockin stuff, some heavy stuff, LOTS of solos, and LOTS N LOTS of double bass. We like to keep Jason feeling like he's more of a marathon runner than playing the drums. So yeah, long n short of it the disc is coming together. Late August or early September it should be in stores n on iTunes. Get into it!"

JOIN the band - wookubus
(2:03 PM PST 05/04/2008)
HORSE the band, who are currently continuing on with their D.I.Y. world tour (video footage of the Australian and New Zealand legs can be found here and here respectively,) have officially embarked on a search for a new drummer. The group currently have enlisted the services of Jon Karel of The #12 Looks Like You fame at present but will soon be returning home to audition a permanent replacement. Here's what the band had to say about potential drummers for the group:
"Obviously you have to be a pretty special character to join this band. We'd prefer someone familiar with the HORSE the band lore, but also normal. You have to have touring experience in really horrible conditions (picking up skin diseases from sleeping on floors, being rejected by ugly chicks, not sleeping for 60 hours or more), not think you are cool, not be way into sitting on your laptop in the "green room", and be a really good drummer. We want someone who can play all sorts of styles really well and prefer someone who keeps it simple sounding while musically compelling and interesting and energetic.
We're heading to South America and Africa in the fall and will do a full US/Canada tour in the summer. You'll make more money than working your job at home. You have to know you wanna tour a lot and don't mind being away from the USA for long periods of time.
If you're interested send us an email with youtube links to you playing these 3 songs: Hyperborea, Cutsman, and Sex Raptor. That pretty much covers all the territory you need to know.
h2theb@gmail.com
If you wanna include bio stuff and pictures that's fine too. Being black and a girl would be a huge plus. But not necessary."
