Deftones Put Eros On Hold

Band have returned to the studio to write new music as 'Eros' is shelved.

Deftones have posted a lengthy blog about their recent decision to withhold the release of new album 'Eros' in favour of new material that the band are currently in the process of recording:

''The songs recorded for Eros are very special to us as they are the latest with Chi (and we certainly hope not the last); they have history and significant meaning to us. However, as we neared completion on Eros, we realized that this record doesn’t best encompass and represent who we are currently as people and as musicians. And although those songs will see the light of day at some point, we collectively made the decision that we needed to take a new approach, and with Chi’s condition heavy on our minds while doing so.

We needed to return to the studio to do what we felt was right artistically. Our inspiration and unity as a band is stronger than it has ever been before and we needed to channel that energy into our music, and deliver to our fans what you rightly deserve: the best Deftones record that we can make.''
