Californian alternative metal band Deftones have confirmed that they’ll be recording a brand new album this July, meaning it won’t be long before new material comes our way.
The band last released an album in 2010, and have been working on the follow-up for the past couple of months. Now, they’ve revealed that they’ve completed the writing stage of their new record, and will be recording it later this year – starting July 9th.
Speaking to La Tercera, frontman Chino Moreno said: “I know everybody says this, but I believe this is the best record we’ve made. I’m very enthusiastic, because it sounds futuristic in comparison to our last one, so it feels like a step forward. The songs are very different from each other, not heavier or slower, but more dynamic, going towards several directions; it’s heavy, but beautiful.”
He went on to talk about comatose bandmate Chi Cheng, who’s still semi-unconscious following a car crash in 2008.
“Every day is different, and he keeps on fighting. It’s been three years already, and he’s making small advancements, daily, but he can’t speak or communicate. Sometimes he can follow small instructions, like lifting a leg or a hand, so we wish for the best and maintain hope. But no doctor can predict when he’s going to wake up.”
Stereoboard broke news of Chi Cheng beginning to emerge from his three and a half year coma back in February – you can check the story out here.
