We know Deftones has been in the studio since February and the group has been very, very quiet about what's been going on. Now we've got one hell of an update, courtesy of vocalist Chino Moreno! According to an interview with Daniel Carter on BBC 1 Radio, the new record is slated to drop on Sept. 25 and sounds exactly like you think it's going to sound. Which is a good thing?
"The record, as far as music, has been all recorded, and I am currently working on the vocals," he said. "So I've been recording from my home studio here in Oregon. Slowly but surely, [we're] getting it done, man. It's coming out really good. It's just another Deftones record. And I feel like it's us reaching a little bit, getting more into the song structures and trying to challenge ourselves a little bit, you know what I mean? It's sounding good. I think it's gonna be a great record."
I mean really, if it's just another Deftones record then that's fine by me and I'm sure 99-percent of the group's fan base. So we'll see! Here's hoping we get some really beefy studio updates soon or even a demo track of a new song.
