Chino Moreno and the rest of the Deftones decided to take a break following the tragic death of their bassist from a car accident in 2013.
And while the American alternative metal band has remained in the shadows for two years, grieving the death of Chi Cheng, Moreno has finally decided to come back and make more music.
In fact, Chino Moreno revealed in an interview with Loud Wire that the new album is already done and will most likely hit shelves in the next month of the other.
"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."
The followup album to their 2012 "Koi No Yokan" will reportedly feature new music now that they have a new bassisst.
"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."
And in a separate interview with Diffuser.fm, other Deftones members namely Frank Delgado and Abe Cunningham also talked about their new album.
"They're finishing the mixing right now," Cunningham confirmed. "We're actually getting mixes sent to us while we're here."
"This one was different," Delgado explained on what fans should expect of their new album. "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."
