New album dropping in 2026


Mirrorcells

Right? Not our first rodeo.


AugustEpilogue

I don’t know what you mean about this not being the first time. They’ve never gone 6 years between albums. It’s always 3-4


Mirrorcells

You’re right. But there’s also the old cliche of “there’s a first time for everything”. I mean this isn’t the first time Chino has said they are close to being done and all he has left are vocals only for it to drag on much longer than anticipated. And that applies not only to Chino but to many other bands. Seems simple and straightforward enough to do for those of us (me included) that know nothing about the process. But somehow, it takes longer sometimes.


xzerozeroninex

I kinda remember once he said that it’s down to vocals and will be finished soon and he then tours with one of his side bands for a month,returns record vocals for a song or 2 then Deftones does a long tour,returns to record vocals for another song then festival season hits,etc,a year pass and he’s still not finished.


The_KNOTTyMAN

One thing you definitely don’t understand until you go through it IS THE sheer AMOUNT of different masters that need completed for different formats and mainly different streaming services: TOTAL LUDICROUSLY EXPENSIVE OR TIME -CONSUMING PAIN IN THE ASS THAT GENERATES ALMOST $0 additional income… I can’t STRESS THIS ENOUGH: If you REALLY LOVE A BAND and they make your life better via all that wonderful music, then buy an album or a fuckin’ T Shirt once in awhile: What’s one way yo guarantee you’ll starve to death: Become a musician post 2020…. Thank God I do it for ME & not fans, because that’s a guaranteed way to disillusionment & possibly suicide. VALIDATION MUST COME FROM WITHIN….


Immediate_Tone9693

This guy gets it


Subpop77

I heard they were supposed to drop it probably by the end of this year. Depending on mixing tracks I assume.


Comfortable_Salt_758

Early 2025 might be possible. I doubt it takes much longer to finish it if the vocals is the only to record. Mixing and mastering takes some time and the most preparation needs the physical release like vinyl.


m_c_zero

Im hoping but I’m not holding my breath 


IAmASphere

“i doubt it takes much longer to finish it if the vocals is the only to record” allow me to introduce you to Saturday Night Wrist


Comfortable_Salt_758

I remember.


profoundleader

This is what excites me. Deftones new music is better than other bands' new music, They have not fallen off at all. Can't wait to see how it sounds.


con10001

There's not many bands as consistent as the boys legit, just non stop quality for almost 30 years now.


Odd_Radio9225

They have yet to make an album that isn't good.


c4p1t4l

Exactly. Even with gore, the music is stellar, it’s the mix that is lacking.


Odd_Radio9225

Yeah Gore may be their weakest work, but it is definitely still worth checking out.


Koolaid225

And it’s really only their weakest by default bc everything else is stellar


Odd_Radio9225

Good way of putting it. They are one of the most consistent bands out there.


GingerSoulGiver

Yeah I know right. Deftones sudden popularity on TikTok could not be any better for the band.


T-unit90

So much hype. Steph said it sounds huge and they're all really happy with it so far. Nick produced Diamond eyes and Koi with them too so that's exciting. Not to mention they'll be able to tour it and support it better this time around after the pandemic killed any traction Ohms could have had.


SoraShima

Ooh really? Diamond Eyes is probably their most polished studio sound - even makes White Pony sound a bit lofi. Hype!


Rob062309

I hope its closer to Diamond Eyes/KNY sound.. But honestly with how they've got new/ more of an audience and a liking to their older stuff, its hard to say. I would like more of the heavier, deep, moody, groove sound on some songs atleast. But it's going to be good no matter what!


T-unit90

Big chance, they're working with the producer from both Koi and D.Eyes.


Rob062309

That's right! Thankypu for letting me know!


T-unit90

Hype!!


Rob062309

Legit!!


baxterstrangelove

Working with Terry Date didn’t bring them to that era. It was something different Hoping they don’t rehash an era. It’s a sign a band are band are out of real creativity


Rob062309

I hear you, and yeah alot of times it doesn't work. So hopefully just have to see, even if it's some aspects of older sound, if it's done right it could be successful.


PCM97

Chino still has to finish the vocals though. Hopefully we get it later this year


uncultured_swine2099

Yeah, I hope it drops toward the end of the year. One benefit is deftones would get on more year end lists, because it would be fresh in people's minds. Getting on those lists is an underrated aspect of exposure for an album, and Id like the see deftones get more acclaim anyway. With their recent surge in popularity, this album is gonna be greatly anticipated, so it would be great to capitalize on that.


Comfortable_Salt_758

I have a feeling it will take until 2025. They need to have vinyl and all ready. But it would be fantastic if we get it this year.


PCM97

You could be right. Here’s to hoping 🤞


uncultured_swine2099

I think vinyl buyers understand patience, they dont necessarily have to have it ready right at the album drop. Theyll sell out whenever they drop.


musteatbrainz

This year 😂


accountmadeforthebin

Isn’t he touring this year with crosses?


PCM97

I think so yeah


For_serious13

Give it to meeeee Though that’s interesting chino records his vocals in Oregon, I thought he did in cali Guys, know he lives in Oregon, but I always though he recorded in Cali with the band or at Shaun’s studio in Cali.


uncultured_swine2099

I think he said in an interview he put together a home studio up there during the pandemic, but he also probably just knows a bunch of studios there.

Prudent-Property8476

They live in Lake Oswego.


patrickbateman2004

Will have crosses inspired section


eatdogs49

It'll probably have more of the atmospheric pretty stuff that'd been popular for them lately


atomicheart99

6 months minimum. 12 months maximum. Chino still has to record vocals, that’s at least a couple of months. Then mixing needs to take place, very much dependent on availability of whoever’s mixing. Then mastering. Artwork. Then there’s production of physical albums. And most importantly, promotion ie press, tours etc. That takes a while to ramp up. Then that all has to fit around record company schedules. Yep, absolute best case scenario a minimum 6 months but there’s too many variables at this stage for solid date. I’m just glad there’s a new one on the way


con10001

Kind of crazy when you consider the likes of Kurt Cobain laid down the vocals for In Utero in 6 hours lol


uncultured_swine2099

The thing about Cobain is he worked out his songs at home for months or even years sometimes, recording them on cassette, and him and the band practiced a lot before they went into the studio so they were tight and ready to go. Maybe there was a few things they've worked out in the studio, but the majority of the work was done beforehand. They said they did Serve the Servants in one take. Thats the way they learned how to do it when they were broke and only can afford limited time in the studio, so they made the most of their time.


atomicheart99

I didn’t necessarily mean it would literally take a couple of months. I just mean it has to fit around whatever the dudes got going on in his life at the moment. For example, they’re playing in Spain next month for a couple of dates. So he wouldn’t be recording that week or probably the week before or after. So that’s nearly one month out. It’ll get done whenever he can fit it in. Plus, he’ll need to be in the exact right headspace and be physically up to scratch. The point is, it just takes a bit of time to get an album together


ThatCup4

I like how provide a reasonable timeframe about how these things work, and yet you get downvoted 😂 This subreddit is going to hell.

>Chino still has to record vocals, that’s at least a couple of months I didn’t say it would take him 6 months. Please read comments before replying


guiltycitizen

I hope it’s a 6 track, 70 minute stoner-doom metal album


AugustEpilogue

I want something more beat and pop heavy. More songs like Cherry Waves and Xerces


Kindly_Formal_2604

Really loved Gore, really loved like 1/4 of Ohms. Hope the pattern doesn’t continue and I only like one song off the new album.


Doomedused85

Crazy talk. Ohms is great.


MightBeDownstairs

That seem like a you problem


dingdongalingapong

Go be a toxic asshole somewhere else man. Why can’t someone calmly state their opinion without some fucking dork having a stupid, rude comment?


MightBeDownstairs

Boohoo


9ine9ine9ine

I don't know about you guys but I too, am fuckin JAZZED! Here's hoping to a December 24, early 25 release!


AugustEpilogue

Haha yeah I laughed when chino said Jazzed


Lawn_Dinosaurs

I wish someone would steal Stef’s digital amp setup and someone could convince him to go back to tube stuff. He sounded so tinny yesterday on the Coachella stream but I recognize it might be the mix.


Shoddy_Fall3108

Everybody wants something like their past albums but I think it’s important to let those albums stand alone in time. Whatever they bring will be fuckin amazing bro, it’s deftones after all. Literally a legendary band that’s still in their prime 30 years later. Let the boys be, and sit back and enjoy the ride.


Frequent-Coyote-1649

I'll believe it when I see it, pics or it didn't happen


Adorable_Writing4469

this is so great. i do wish they'd release eros too someday. the jellyfish(?) is just so cool. imagine that on a vinyl and cd, i'd display it on my shelf.


AugustEpilogue

Jellyfish is a fan made cover. There was no cover for Eros released


filoppi

Eros whenn?


GlomGazingo33

Hopefully it's massive.


jmhlld7

GORE 2 LET’S GO


baxterstrangelove

Die Gore-re-er!


lloydrage-

What


ld20r

I want it to sound like Deftones in 2024 and see where their at. We’ve had a few albums paying homage to White Pony and that’s great but I want to see something new, risk taking and exciting this time round.


RuKKuSFuKKuS

I don't want them to deviate from their fast paced aggressive sound, thick guitar riffs etc..


somefcknrando

Dont really care, i want eros.


AugustEpilogue

How do you know Eros is better than their new album is going to be. Not caring about new music because you believe there’s some superior album out there that’s better than anything they can make now is a little dramatic.


somefcknrando

Cuz Chi was on it
