Deftones Shelf Eros

2009-06-29 by Athom EMERITUS | 25 Comments
In a statement on their Myspace page, The Deftones have announced that they are putting Eros on the back burner.

"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."

i'm going to look at it in the point of view of I'd prefer them to take their time on releasing great quality music rather then half-assed/rushed. its the same reason i put up with streetlight manifesto, haha

My point is that just because somebody posted something that was already posted doesn't mean you have to be a dipshit about it, just let the mods take care of it.

STFU Tina. How are the mods gonna know about it unless someone points it out? It's all about being part of a community.

Its good the band have the balls to make these kinds of decisions and not give in to pressure. Looking forward to the new album whenever it will be.

I'm still wowed sometimes on this site, even if you think you've heard it all before.

This is no surprise. Well, it surprised me that the reasoning for this being shelfed had nothing to do with Chi.

I can't wait any longer! Just kidding, I hope they are true to their word on "the best recorded [they've] ever written."

I already knew about this but I didn't see it on this site before this entry. Anyway, I'm really disappointed. I had to wait 3 years for Saturday Night Wrist, but it ended up being totally worth the wait. Seems like we won't see a new Deftones album for at least 4 years...

i hope its because eros is really aggressive and angry that they now dont want to release it.
