Deftones announce title and release date for new album
Deftones have marked May 18th on the calendar as the day they will release their new album.
The band has dubbed the effort Diamond Eyes.
Speaking about the lyrical content on the new album, singer Chino Moreno had this to say:
I do very little singing about myself on this record. I love songs where I can totally take myself out of being human. I can sing about really odd things, and they don’t necessarily have to pertain to me at all. It paints a picture.
That quote is at least somewhat ironic since a lot of Deftones’ past lyrics are about “really odd things.” As for the sound of the album, Moreno said that it’s not going to stray far from the unique “aggressive overtones and lush openness” that have marked their work from the very beginning. He said to expect a mix of both heavy songs and experimental tracks.
The band will be giving away the song “Rocket Skates” off the new album for free on February 23 at their website. For now, they’ve posted a teaser for the song on YouTube.
