Update on new Deftones record 2009-06-24 by fromrows | 16 Comments | Deftones give an update on the current state of Eros and their future plans, as well as updates on Chis condition.
* From Their official website www.deftones.com
What’s up!
We want to take a minute and address all of you regarding Chi and our new record:
First and foremost, we are all still praying and hoping for our brother’s and bandmate’s recovery. He continues to get hospital care, but often it feels as if we’re no closer to knowing what is ultimately going to happen to him as he continues to fight off infections as part of an ongoing battle with his condition. We trust all of you have been following his progress at One Love For Chi; we have as well. Whenever we have significant information regarding his condition, we will share it with all of you. In the meantime, we’re working on getting a benefit show together for Chi in Los Angeles this fall; details will follow very soon.
Let’s all continue to channel positive energy into the universe for Chi’s recovery.
There has been a lot of speculation lately about what is going on with the record: Eros for one, and Chi’s parts, and this new record that we are currently tracking.
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.
The decision to hold off on releasing Eros has no connection with Chi’s condition or anything associated. This was, and is, purely a creative decision by the band to write, record, and deliver an amazing product. As a result we feel like this is the best record we’ve ever written. And although Chi is not playing bass with us, his presence is dramatically felt in our hearts and on our minds everyday when we step into that studio, and you will feel it in the music.
We have some dates coming up this summer as you know, and the best thing that we can do now is to try to return this situation to the closest thing to normalcy as possible. The stage is our home, and you are our family.
Please remember, only Deftones speak for Deftones, so we will continue to periodically release official statements.
More to come soon.

Cant wait for a new record, interesting how they plan on putting out Eros? Seems they might not release Eros until there is an update on Chi.
| | |
This is one of those bands that needs an asshole record label yelling at them to get the damn album done already.
| | |
yeah
| | |
More waiting. I hope it will be worth it.
| | |
awesome, looking forward to this.
better be good... (which it will be of course)
:D
| | |
You can't rush creativity, let them have their space
| | |
I support making better music... still interesting tho considering they said they wanted to record Eros ASAP since they're last 2-3 records each had at least a 3 year space between them.

lol possibly. but then again after watching someone so close go through something traumatic...especially Chi since he was in the band and all. Theres probably a high level of emotional reactions/strain that would only call for the band get tighter and go back and write some more songs.
So your right in some aspect but because of this situation i think giving them the time to write something powerful would be more fitting.

very excited
| | |
Re-writing a record can only mean it'll get better. I mean, it's Deftones, not like they'll put out something bad.
| | |
Eros? WTF
| | |
haha, Eros is also the name of a bollywood movie producing company.
| | |
so they had the album all done, but then decided to completely re-write it? uggh
but something tells me that all the time they've had and the tragedy with Chi is all going to lead them to write something INCREDIBLE, I can't wait.
| | |
That isn't what it means but yeah whatever.
| | |
as long as it's better than their last two records i will be happy.
| | |
ist true
