They soon started work on what would eventually become Saturday Night Wrist, a record that was pieced together with the members emailing each other their own recorded parts and not written as a full band. Deftones were not pleased with the album they created and did not tour much in support of it. This tension carried over to the recording of the group's fourth studio album, Deftones, in 2003, which was a dark and depressing record. 1.4 Shelving Eros, new albums and Cheng's death (2009–2013)īackground and recording Precursors (2000–2006) īeginning with the writing process and subsequent rigorous touring schedule to promote Deftones' 2000 album White Pony, the relationship among band members started to dissolve.1.3 Recording and Cheng's accident (2008).
In the years that followed, the band has had mixed feelings about finishing and officially releasing Eros at some point down the road. With Cheng in a coma, Deftones recruited former Quicksand bassist Sergio Vega and released Diamond Eyes instead in 2010. The November 2008 car accident of bassist Chi Cheng forced the band to initially hold off on releasing the album, however, and they later shelved the album indefinitely in a creative decision to move forward. The band spent time recording the album from April to November 2008 at The Spot in Los Angeles. The post Deftones Have Discussed Releasing Eros Material as an EP appeared first on MetalSucks.Of an unreleased album by American alternative metal band Deftones, with tentative release dates in 20. Having said that, given all the fan discussion surrounding Eros over the years - and Cunningham’s stated reluctance due to the unfinished nature of it - it’s hard to imagine it living up to expectations at this point.Įlsewhere in the same interview, Cunningham revealed that the band’s new album is fully mixed and they’re eyeing a September release for it, although that is by no means a confirmed time period. Needless to say “we’ve talked about” is not the same as “we’re going to,” but “we’ve talked about” is still better than “we will never” as far as Deftones fans are concerned. What’s more, all that emotional baggage connected to this particular set of recordings, as Abe acknowledges. But yeah, it would be nice for that to see the light of day, definitely.”Ĭan you imagine revisiting stuff you started writing 12 years ago and trying to get back in the groove with it? It’d be awkward, you’d be out of sorts, disconnected, in a completely different place now.
But we have to get into all the legalities of it and all that stuff and also we have to finish it. “We’ve talked about putting out maybe a condensed version or an EP of four or five songs, something like that, and that kind of makes sense. I’m not sure I ever realized the extent to which the Eros tracks were unfinished - I’d thought they were in a mostly recorded state with just some finishing touches needed - but Cunningham makes it sound as if the writing was far from complete with lines like “we were just trying to get back to it and see what we can come up with.”Ĭunningham went on to discuss whether the material could ever see the light of day in spite of that: But I gotta be honest, it was like, you know, we were just trying to get back to it and see what we can come up with then… and it’s not that it’s not good, it’s just… there’s a lot attached to it as well, you know? And I understand that people are passionate about that and they want to hear Chi‘s last musical contribution.” And then he got in his accident and that’s kinda where it just stopped. “…It was never completed, and that’s what people don’t get, like, ‘What, you’re just sitting on it?’ and I mean no, we’re not just sitting on it, we never finished it.
