• Deftones To Release New Album In Early 2012

    Deftones are planning to begin work on their new album this summer and are looking at an early 2012 release. In a interview, frontman Chino Moreno says,

    We’re going to have a month off, but in that month, we’re talking about going in and starting to write again, maybe even two or three weeks in a rehearsal spot just recording ideas and keeping it going. So if all goes well, hopefully we’ll have some product for early next year.
