Deftones to begin recording new album in July

According to an interview with frontman Chino Moreno with Chilean publication La Tercera, Deftones will be hitting the studio in July to record a new album:

“With release date for the fall, the seventh studio album completed Deftones preproduction and ended on Wednesday 9 July and will enter the studio to record “I know everyone says , but I think is the best album we've recorded, “says Moreno,” I am very excited about because it sounds futuristic compared to our last album, Diamond Eyes (2010) – so it feels like a step forward. “

While Moreno feels that the sound of that material has a lot of experimentation and is different from what they have done, the musician believes that within the Deftones discography, this work could be more like White Pony, the record of 2000 with which got good reviews and sales, plus a Grammy for Best Metal presentation by the Elite theme: “The songs are very different, not heavy or slower but dynamic and goes into many directions, is so heavy and so beautiful “says the singer explains that Sergio Vega, replacing bassist Chi Cheng, bassist in 2008 had a car accident that left him in a coma, has been a contribution “has been working very well,” he says.”

The band last released Diamond Eyes in 2010. Moreno has been busy in the interim, releasing EPs with co-conspirator Shaun Lopez (Far, the Revolution Smile) under the Crosses moniker.
