Following the untimely death of their bassist two years ago, Chino Moreno and the rest of Deftones have decided to go on a hiatus.
However, the band felt that it's about time to move on as they work on a new album.
While fans are excited to hear new songs from Deftones, Chino Moreno has just revealed that the recording for their new album is done.
In an interview with Loud Wire the band's frontmant teased fans on when the follow-up album to their 2012 "Koi No Yokan" will be released.
"I think October or November, probably November," Moreno revealed "As of today, we are rushing to get our thank you's and credits turned in. Once the music is turned in, which should be in the next couple of weeks, there is still some mixing and mastering to be done. But the recording are all done. The songs are all there. They are awesome and we're excited about it."
Moreover, Chino Moreno discussed how Deftones has adjusted their music following the death of Chi Cheng, revealing what fans could expect of the new album.
"One thing this record that's really cool sonically, our bass play is playing a 6-string bass which is closer to a baritone guitar," Moreno said of their new bassist. "So how his frequency works with my guitar frequency and Stef guitar frequency it molded a different sound, a different area of sonics that is new for us."
Other Deftones members, Frank Delgado and Abe Cunningham also discussed details of their new album in a separate interview with Diffuser.fm.
"They're finishing the mixing right now," Cunningham said. "We're actually getting mixes sent to us while we're here."
"This one was different," Delgado explained how different the new album would be. "This one was a lot of starting and stopping which I think is something we would've been scared of before. For the last couple of records, we went in and we started writing and we didn't stop until we finished the record."
