Deftones album update

Deftones recently updated fans on their new album.

Eros will be started on April 14th with Terry Date producing it. They went on to say:

“Hard for me to describe what this record will sound like. So far, it’s shaping up to be our most unorthodox piece of work, not only sound-wise but the way a lot of the songs have come about. There is also some of that good old “fuck you, I hope you die!” aggression I know a lot of you love and miss from us. So thats about it for now. Will keep you posted.”
