Deftones To Enter The Studio In July For Next Album
Deftones/††† frontman Chino Moreno recently told Chilean site, Latercera.com, that the Deftones completed pre-production for their next album this week. He further revealed that group are scheduled to enter the studio on July 09th to begin recording the effort and offered the following on it:
“I know everybody says this, but I think it’s best album we’ve written. I am very excited because it sounds futuristic compared to our last album — so it feels like a step forward.”
He also touched upon the health of ailing Deftones bassist Chi Cheng, his hopes for ††† scheduled appearance at the Chilean “Lollapalooza” and more in the interview. You can read the whole feature at the above-mentioned link (in Spanish.)

Never really bothered to listen to a deftones album fully, sadly im a 16yo in this this fucking scenecore BS, although I m very excited to see what they came up with.
St. Anger
This new album will probably come out until March or April of 2013 Until then they should release Eros, over 2 or 3 EPs.
I’m interested in hearing if Eros is even more dadaist than Saturday Night Wrist.
SNW is still my favorite album of theirs. Everyone else I know can’t stand it, but it is in their tumultuous times that I feel they produce their best songs.
The article says the new album would come out this fall.
I hope so.
“I know everybody says this, but I think it’s best album we’ve written.” it’s true that every band says this, but with the deftones it actually isn’t bullshit.
100% agreed. Deftones are one of my favorite bands ever. I can go through every single album that they’ve ever released and listen from start to finish. So pumped for this next outing. Bring it on.
Likewise. The deftones never cease to amaze me. Their music always makes me feel more emotionally connected to whatever I am doing when listening to them. Truly some epic tunage. I’ve loved everything they have ever made.
I really hope they decide to bring on Terry Date again. The last dude did a good job, and so did Bob Ezrin. But c’mon, if they want it to mirror that ‘futuristic’ claim, get the guy in who did Around the Fur and White Pony. Those albums sound timeless! God, yet another reason to yearn for Eros…….
When Chino says this is their best record to date, I believe it. They never disappoint. Eat the brown acid and report back, dudes!!!!!
So stoked to hear this. Favorite band by a mile and I can’t wait for another album/tour…Chino has been back on his game live ever since they toured for SNW and then stepped .
I also agree on SNW and Deftones being highly underrated albums with self-titled being my fav
The working title for the self-titled was “Lovers” and as far as I’m concerned that’s the real title.
Around the Fur was my favorite for a long time; it probably still is. Of course, I loved White Pony, but “Lovers” showed they could even be heavier and still make those beautiful mellow tunes.
Saturday Night Wrist was a train wreck; it’s not cohesive, you can hear the band coming apart but somehow pulling it together. It’s a rewarding listening experience, but it requires more from the listener. As I said in an earlier post, it’s their most dadaist.
Diamond Eyes hit every mark; it has always surpassed my expectations. I become more and more cynical each year and Diamond Eyes really broke through that barrier which prevents me from loving new music with the zeal I had when I was younger.
When they finally release Eros, I wonder if I’ll approach it as a new Deftones album, or if I’ll just think of it as what was supposed to come between Saturday Night Wrist and Diamond Eyes. Will it show the progression of one to the other, or will it be it’s own thing.
As much as I want to hear the next album, especially after Chino called it “futuristic” (totally a White Pony-type statement) there’s a part of me more excited for the dichotomy or possible paradigm shift Eros may or may not provide for us.
Speaking of “Lovers”

Was gonna say Chino stepped it up another on notch when they toured for Diamond Eyes by getting back in to shape physically and even more so vocally…with that said even when Chino was wasted his stage presence was still awesome to watch.
These are the only lovers I know…

That’s some good stuff…Ryder use to be some primo meat
she has an amazing ping-pong ball trick too that you have to see…
This news triggered massive ropes to be slung forth from my fully engorged member.
Ugh please, PLEASE don’t change your sound drastically. The last album had everything I had ever loved about the Deftones when I first for into them. Pure aggression, and great hooks.
*first got into them.
They are and always will be a part of my life. Their art is on my body, and for good reason. Emotionally attached to their music due to the times their songs really would strike chords in my friends and I. Parties, road trips, drunken jam sessions…etc. Especially around the fur.
What? No “butt hurt” comment? I dont know who you are anymore.
Solid all around and still one of my favorite live acts. I saw them in a small theater just after White Pony was released and Stephen & Chino were pretty hammered. It turned out to be one of the best shows I have ever scene, though there were moments of chaos between the songs that made me wonder if they would continue. I knew that lifestyle catches up with people and feared they would disintegrate like so many bands before them. However, before it all totally blew up I think Chi’s wreck jolted their perspective and renewed their passions.
New Meshuggah, New Killswitch w/ Jesse Leach, new Tool (maybe), new Fear Factory, new Every Time I Die, and now new Deftones???
2012 must be the end of the world; no other way to explain this awesome year.
Just the Meshuggah and Deftones alone is enough to make it incredible.
BONER TIME 2012!!!!!!
Looking forward to it. These guys have progressed so well through the years and have maintained their creativity.
I want to know how you guys discovered the Deftones. And I don’t care if you say Saturday Night Wrist, I am not judging when it comes to fellow fans of Deftones. Mostly because my story is good for a laugh and I learned a valuable lesson from it.
They opened for Pantera and White Zombie down in Detroit, MI back in 96. I was into Pantera like any other good American teenager, and when I read the Deftones was playing with them, I had never heard them but all I could imagine was these guys playing Ska with trombones and trumpets and shit(because of the mighty bosstones). So the whole time I was thinking, wtf? After that I learned not to assume something stupid like that. They were not Pantera but they stuck on me. I kept catching myself remembering, “I get booooooooorred” until I got back and was able to buy Adrenaline from a store that actually sold it. The rest is history. I wish to say to the other fans, I am sorry for the ska thing.
Ok your turn… GO
that tour is the first time i heard them as well
mine is not nearly as exciting. i remember when they came here to Trees with Korn after both bands had released their first albums. Deftones/Korn at Trees just goes to show how little both bands were at the time. I was little more than a nutstain in my mom’s undies at the time (bad ICP reference), so I wasn’t able to go the show….but it did stoke my interest in checking the deftones out (I was already a Korn fan). I was instantly hooked the first time I put Adrenaline in.
what is funnier is how i heard of mudvayne. i went and saw them open for slipknot at bronco bowl (god i miss that venue), but the Guide for the Dallas Morning News had them listed as Mud Wayne. I was envisioning a redneck-looking country singer-songwriter in a pair of overalls and hyped up on meth. Other than having three more pieces and being a nu-metal band, I pretty much hit the nail on the head. =)
Wow haha. The Bronco Bowl/Canyon Club and the Guide in the DMN hahaha, memories. Mudvayne actually came through Dallas a few months before that and opened for someone at the Canyon Club inside the Bronco Bowl. I want to say it was Poison The Well.
First time I saw Korn was Nov 96 at the Bronco Bowl (fun fact: the live songs on the ADIDAS single are from that show). Opening band: The Urge. Horrible ass ska bullshit haha.
i loved bronco bowl. that place had the best live sound out of any venue i have ever been to. i remember the band the Urge that you’re talking about. The only thing they gave me the urge to do was pull a Carradine.
Dude, you remind me of this dude who is friends with my friend Les Thomason….maybe not?
i’d have to see the back of his head.
its blonde, and big.
I saw them on that 1996 tour in Minneapolis. I first heard Adrenaline on the long drive to that show; the guitar tone alone had me at hello.
Eyehategod also opened that show. At the height of grunge/alternative music, metal made a lasting statement with that tour. I still have my ticket stub.
I got a used copy of Adrenaline in ’95 since I saw that they (and Orange 9 mm) were opening for Korn (at the OLD 9:30 Club in DC on F St. NW) and that’s when Korn’s popularity started to skyrocket; thus, the show sold out and I was crushed. After a few spins of Adrenaline, I didn’t like it because I thought it sounded like FNM and Tool too much.
I still stand by the following statement: Nosebleed has nearly the same song structure as Caffeine by FNM. As much as that song slams, I thought they were ripping off my idols!
Fast-forward 2 years, on the fence about Deftones and I enter CD Depot in College Park, MD to browse and see Around the Fur with that wicked hot girl on the cover and thought “Man, I hope those bamas stepped up their game. Here goes nothin’….” and bought it. My friend who drove threw it in his CD player and I was hooked on My Own Summer without having heard it before. After Lhabia, I knew these motherfuckers were NO JOKE. By the time Head Up came on, we almost wreck my boy’s car going APESHIT!!!!!!! HA! Word of mouth: my other friend, who wasn’t even with us, got it immediately and he was hooked as well.
Saw them twice on the Around the Fur tour, with Quicksand opening for them the second time around. Saw them again on the White Pony tour and Chino was REALLY fucked up. I didn’t end up seeing them again until SNW, and they were explosive and reconfirmed their place in my heart live. Saw them twice down South during the Diamond Eyes tour and they CRUSHED both times.
Diamond Eyes is my favorite record of theirs. I’m very surprised Wook didn’t give that sucker a 5. I think that will stand the test of time better than White Pony, but no tellin’…..
Faith No More and Tool?! Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
I found them when I was in middle school. I was already a big Korn fan at the time and bought The Crow:COA soundtrack cuz they were on it and was blown away by “teething.” Immediately got Adrenalin and then ATF when it came out the next year. Took me a bit to adjust to the mellower stuff on White Pony but I as I got older I’d say I enjoy Deftones more on the softer stuff. Only band I’ve stuck with since I really got in to music.
Not too many people I know share the same passion for Deftones that I have but I gotta say Deftones fans are some of the most passionate fans you can meet.
Didn’t get to see them live until they toured for White Pony but haven’t missed a show since when they hit Oregon. I was fortunate enough to see them two years ago on record store day in Portland when they did a in store signing for the Covers vinyl release. They also put on two amazing shows that weekend and I’ve been eagerly awaiting the next tour.
i’m so glad you mentioned “teething.’
Don’t forget ‘Can’t Even Breathe’ off the Escape from LA soundtrack back in ’96. Phenomenal.
I saw them play “can’t even breathe” in Detroit in 2003. Everyone on the floor simultaneously shit themselves when they realized what it was. They played it a bunch later that tour I believe, but at the time it was super rare.

Nice work HBB. Enjoying the audio now.
Your kind of moment reminds me of when they pulled out Damone at the ’99 Warped Tour here in Sydney. The fans went batshitcrazy.
Batshitcrazy because they liked the song or because it was rarely, if at all, played? I have to be honest, that “song” is beyond boring.
More so because it’s rarely every played.
Sure, if you don’t like it, you don’t like it. Each to his/her own. However, I don’t see how it’s exactly ‘boring’….And, no, I’m not going to argue semantics.
I hear ya, Surly. We all like different stuff.
But to me, that song sounds like an early, working demo version of “Be Quiet And Drive” (the verse) and “Lotion” (the chorus). It’s almost like a reject song forcibly throw in for the purpose of having a “secret” track. It is what it is, I guess.
“Pushing Wurst back but still he ain’t gone”
I’m jealous as shit that you got to see them play Damone Surly. It’s my holy grail of deftones songs. I’ll never get to see it. It’s possible I saw them play it back in the day but was too young and stupid to realize it. It pains me to think about that possibility.
That’s badfuckingass Lifeseclipse.
I first heard Deftones on the exact same tour. I caught the show at Wings Stadium in Kalamazoo. I was 14 years old. That annoying nerdy VJ chick from MTV back in the day was interviewing them outside of the arena. I didn’t know shit about them at the time. I might have heard “teething” because I owned The Crow 2 soundtrack, but that might have actually came out after the show. I don’t remember, it was around the same time. EIther way, I’ve been swingin from Deftones’ nuts ever since.
I was 14 in 1998 and heard my own summer for the first time. I HAD to get this disc that this track was on. Found out a friends brother had a deftones disc. Nabbed it. Listened to it from start to finish, waiting, just waiting to hear that song i didn’t know the name of. I didn’t hear it. A couple of weeks later I found out, adrenaline, despite loving that CD, was not the one! LOL. So i went and bought around the fur, came buckets, and the rest was history.
this must’ve been around the same time you were jerking off to photos of Fred Durst.
There used to be a show here in Canada called Loud on MuchMusic, and I would watch it ever Saturday night as a kid. By this time I was already into Korn, so I would watch this show for more bands like them. The first video by them I had heard was Bored, and the next week I decided to go out and buy their CD. It just so happened that Around the Fur had just dropped that Tuesday, so I bought that one since Adrenaline was not in stock. Been a fan ever since.
Loud was responsible for every nu-metal music video I saw before Youtube. That show was sick as fuck…playing like Science era Incubus videos, Coal Chamber,Deftones, Old Korn,Fear Factory,etc…..all the shit MTV NEVER played.
Living up here in Michigan I am 15 miles south of the Canadian border, I know all about MuchMusic and LOUD. Some of the best shit ever came out of that. I’m lucky to live this far north. But I remember when My Own Summer started to get played by those shows. I’d flip channels to try to catch it as often as possible. MTV2 would play that a few times a day also.
Wow, I had to knock down a few cobwebs in my brain for this one. Good question though. Back in high school, I would head down to my local Farm Fresh supermarket and buy a copy of CMJ magazine each month. AKA College Music Journal. The cool thing about the thing was that it came with a cd with all kinds of varied bands. It was a compilation cd from hell basically. All over the fucking place musically. One track in particular peaked my interest at the time because of how heavy/ angry/ brutal and awesome it was. That track was ’7 Words’. Needless to say, the Deftones opened my eyes to an entire different realm of music. Here is a link to the CMJ comp track listing. I lost the cd a long time ago.
http://www.discogs.com/Various-CMJ-New-Music-October-Volume-26/release/1247551
I still have that CMJ disc. I think I have one with “Bored” as well.
The one with 7 Words was also my first exposure to the band. I sitll have a stack of those CD’s somewhere. Totally forgot about that. Rad.
I wish I still had all those fucking magazines with the cd’s that came with them. It would be cool to have them all be sealed in the plastic cases they came in too. Those were the good ole days.
hoarder.
I believe the year was 1997 and my favorite band (at the time) Oasis were performing a concert on MTV. I know no fuckin way right? Anyway, I was in junior high and the concert lasted well past my bedtime hehe. So I busted out a VCR tape and hit record. The next day, I watched the concert, which is still great, and realized it had recorded about 2 extra hours of MTV. That night my life changed. Around midnight a little show called 120 minutes came on and was loaded with world video premiers. One was for a band called 311, for the song beautiful disaster, and the other was of coarse the mighty Deftones with My Own Summer. I purchased my first real “metal” albums in the weeks to follow. One being 311s Transistor, and the other being Deftones, Around the Fur. Weve been together ever since.
Oasis? Rough times in the life of CptCream if that was your favorite band haha.
311 and Deftones being “metal”, hahaha wow. You probably thought Oasis was rockabilly.
Lol hey lay off, I was like 12 or 13! And when all that youre exposed to is Nirvana Pearl Jam and the other grunge music of the time, yes 311 and Deftones were all I knew of ,quote, unquote, metal! Amusing comment though
Yeah, sorry to bust your balls but I had to with that Oasis comment haha.
guess not everybody was in my situation and had a musician father and an older brother who both introduced me to a lot of kick ass shit at a very young age, not to mention got me into playing both drums and guitar.
Wurst was jammin out to Vanilla Ice from a young age.
I wish I had a better story to tell, but my first exposure to the band was in the Spring of 1999. I had just bought The Matrix soundtrack mainly for the Rob Zombie, Rammstein, Manson et. al. tunes. First listen to “My Own Summer” and I was hooked. It was unlike anything I had ever heard before. So heavy, so hypnotizing and — for lack of a better word — so fucking cool. I immediately went out and purchased Adrenaline and ATF as well as the Escape From L.A. and Crow: City of Angels soundtracks. If it had Deftones on it, I had to have it! I spent the next year anxiously awaiting White Pony. I remember downloading various leaks (some fake, some dodgy, some authentic) via Napster and when that album dropped, my ears totally came. That album dominated and defined my summer and they’ve been one of the few constant fixtures in my life since. They opened me up to such much more music than what I was listening to at the time and even today, their music still excites and challenges me. /blockoftext
I also have to add that at the beginning of 2000, MTV2 had the not-so brilliant idea of airing every single music video in their vault in alphabetical order. It took months for them to plow through it, and I can recall tuning in for several hours during the S portion just so I could finally see the “7 Words” video — the only Deftones video that I had not yet seen. I even had my VCR prepared just so I could record it and watch it again and again.
Jesus, the fucking days before YouTube. Kids today have NO idea how easy they have it. I often wonder if they can even appreciate music in the same way, having not had to “work” for it like past generations did. I also remember Loud and MuchMusic vividly. I still have an hour-long special on tape with the Deftones where they did an interview to promote White Pony. They played some live stuff, talked about meeting Rivers Cuomo and wanting to tour with Weezer and what-not. Good times. I might have to dig that up later.
” Kids today have NO idea how easy they have it. I often wonder if they can even appreciate music in the same way, having not had to “work” for it like past generations did.”
Great, great post A.Estes. I wish I had had youtube back in the 90′s. It would have saved my shitty vcr a lot of work and I would have lost a lot less sleep. I had volumes and volumes of recorded vcr tapes. Jon Stewart had an awesome show back in the day. I wish I could find those tapes. He had bands like Slayer, Helmet, Megadeth, and even Quicksand all perform, It was fucking magical as hell.
Youtube fucking rules! Jon Stewart Show- Helmet playing Wilma’s Rainbow. The kids have it all today!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=H5Sj4uQWtPw
I don’t even think kids today know what good music is. I have a daughter who’s gonna be 7 soon and her ipod is filled with the likes of Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and you get the idea…manufactured garbage that’s played on pop radio and MTV when they play music. I put some Deftones on it to try and convert her into some decent music so time will tell…it’s a sad time when the lyrics from top 40 radio are more offensive & damaging then lyrics from a hard rock band but that’s what’s forced down kids throats these days
Why does a 7 year old have an iPod haha? Second, step it up, dad. Start playing better music around her. Luckily, I have a father that was into some of the coolest shit back in the early-mid 80′s when my musical mind was forming.
and look how you turned out
@lloyd – Don’t give up, pops. Just keep planting seeds, she’ll come around. My dad just shook his head throughout my whole Korn phase (which I don’t regret, by the way, good times) and kept slipping me Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin… Eventually, I swiped his double-disc Best of The Doors and went “Aaaahhh… I get it.”
The more you bash her music, the more she’ll ignore your suggestions, and the more she’ll consume bubblegum than actual substance. She’ll come around.
I got into them by reading about them in Metal Maniacs. I was going to the Pantera/Zombie show anyways and read they were opening. I decided just to buy Adrenaline without knowing anything about them cause they were opening. I was hooked half way throu Bored. The rest is history. SNW did leave me with a bad taste but when DE came out, it was so refreshing to hear good tones let alone good music again.
This is my exact story. I was in middle school at the time and this was probably my 5th or 6th concert ever.
Credit to Pantera for bringing along different bands all the time. They brought Neurosis with them to the State Fair Grounds (RIP) and I don’t know where I would be today without that band.
Man I miss the fair grounds…something about having 40s in the parking lot there. It’s just not the same elsewhere. Except Harpos haha.
(insert cliche’ devil’s advocate statement by Wurst)
OH AH-AH-AH-AH!!
April fools!
oooh get the same producer as shinedown to do the album, they’re amazing!!!!!
Yeah, I like that Diamond Eyes track Shinedown did. Such an original title! BOOM LAY BOOM *fart*
New product.
Btw..if you’re using Google Chrome, the Translate feature does a good job of getting it into readable English.
While Moreno feels that the sound of that material has a lot of experimentation and is different from what they have done, the musician believes that within the Deftones discography, this work could be more like White Pony, the record of 2000 with which got good reviews and sales, plus a Grammy for Best Metal presentation by the Elite theme: “The songs are very different, not heavy or slower but dynamic and goes into many directions, is so heavy and so beautiful “says the singer explains that Sergio Vega, replacing bassist Chi Cheng , bassist in 2008 had a car accident that left him in a coma, has been a contribution “has been working very well,” he says.
