Coming together in 1988 as mere high school students, Deftones (Chino Moreno/Vocals; Stephen Carpenter/Strings;ChiCheng/Bass; Abe Cunningham/Drums; Frank Delgado/Turntables,Keys) have been a thunderous reminder for over adecadethat popular music has not been dried out completely. Masterfully intertwining heavy guitar riffs, whisper-to-scream vocals, and a pounding rhythm section with textural soundeffects andkeyboards, Deftones' sound is unique and fresh, constantly expanding amongst the stagnant world of their peers.
At the recent Golden God Awards, Deftones vocalist Chino Moreno has stated that in light of the tragic death of bassist Chi Cheng, the shelved album Eros will finally "see the light of day". The album was originally shelved in 2009 following Cheng's 2008 car accident and has been described as a much darker, complex, and intense album than 2010's Diamond Eyes.

Koi No Yokan was amazing. I am still in shock with Cheng’s death news…
I wanted to add +666 hype ! ..never expected this album would see the light of day !
I also had no idea Chino died but I knew about the accident. RIP Chino.
CHI CHENG died, NOT Chino. Fuckin’ ignoramus.
Thanks for being such a nice guy about it.
You feel tough running your mouth on the internet ?
grow up kid .
lol… he called him an “ignoramus”. I’m almost certain that was ment to be sarcastic and/or humorous, as I don’t see that word being used in any other way,
all i know is i have been a huge fan of theirs since i seen a video for 7 words on Much Music in the 90’s. So.. i know who Chino is.. i typed the wrong thing in and i meant well.. that should have been crystal clear..
Let’s give them time to finish this properly, in peace (with angst in the middle, probably, one much truthful if so happens, reflecting itself on the record). It could easily be their biggest masterpiece, so no rush, guys. Take. Your. Time. Do other records in the middle if you need but take your time. We waited this long, we can wait a bit longer. (Can’t believe I’m actually saying this)
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTT!!!
Cory, Trevor, let’s go smokes
OH thank the lawd, I need a new Deftones album. Is this the album they recorded with Cheng before his accident? Or is that still shelved?
This entry is wrong … There’s still no release date for ‘Eros’, the 25th Sept. was the release date for the new album, but they postponed it.
You’re right. Eros is still shelved. This album has been postponed to November.
