Deftones/Palms, etc. frontman Chino Moreno was once again asked about when fans can expect to hear the groups shelved album “Eros“. Speaking to MTVhive.com, he replied:
“I get asked about that record a lot. For a while, I was giving the same answer, “No, no, no, no, no, no, no.” After Chi’s passing, I went back and listened to some of the record and it was a pretty intense experience to say the least. I think it should be released, but we don’t have any definite plans. There’s some work to do on it. Deftones have been moving forward in a strong, positive motion, so for us to stop and reflect on something five years ago, I don’t know if we’re ready for that. I’m not sure that’s where we want to put our energy. It is a special thing for us: it’s the last thing Chi played on. It will see the light of day. I just don’t know when.”
The band recorded the album during 2008 and it featured the final studio performance of their late bassist Chi Cheng.
