From
a
recent
interview
on
mtv:
"We're
just
going
to
get
used
to
playing
as
a
live
band
again,"
Chino
said.
"For
me,
the
best
part
of
being
in
a
band
is
playing
shows,
all
the
raw
energy.
So
we
want
to
get
some
of
these
new
songs
worked
out
live.
It'll
be
interesting."
The
tour
starts
September
27
in
San
Francisco
and
finishes
October
30
in
Hartford,
Connecticut.
The
band
plans
to
head
right
from
the
road
into
producer
Bob
Ezrin's
Connecticut
studio. |

"The
tour
is
routed
so
it
ends
in
Connecticut,
and
the
we
load
our
equipment
into
Bob's
studio,"
Moreno
said.
"He
produced
The
Wall,
so
he's
known
for
building
songs.
And
we've
been
FTPing
songs
back
and
forth
all
along,
so
we're
slowly
constructing
a
record.
We're
building
an
album
as
opposed
to
just
making
a
bunch
of
songs
and
putting
them
on
a
record."
The
band
has
written
18
songs
for
the
new
album,
Moreno
said,
describing
them
as
"more
White
Pony
than
our
last
one,"
2003's
Deftones."The
songs
are
kind
of
brainy.
They're
more
Rush
than
Tool
in
a
way.
On
our
last
record,
we
got
kind
of
lazy
by
writing
as
few
riffs
as
possible.
This
one
we're
writing
way
more
riffs.
We
have
formats
where
we
have
to
write
the
songs
down
and
go
over
them
and
over
them
again."In
addition
to
gearing
up
for
a
new
Deftones
album,
Moreno
just
finished
the
mastering
on
his
long-awaited,
even-longer-delayed
Team
Sleep
side
project.
Team
Sleep:"We
turn
it
in
on
Friday
and
it'll
be
out
November
2.
It
came
out
really
good.
It's
all
pretty
mellow
and
very
un-rock,"
Moreno
said.
"It's
very
moody.
Very
beat-driven.
We
have
an
avant-garde
drummer
and
a
programmer
who
uses
only
an
old
sampler.
And
then
there
are
all
these
melancholy,
romantic
guitar
lines
through
it
all."

November
with
Bob
Ezrin:
"It's
gonna
be
cool...
try
some
new
songs,
smile,
feel
good.
After
all
we
are
a
touring
band",
he
said.
According

reporting
that
Chino
Moreno
recently
said
that
he
expects
it
to
be
one
of
Deftones'
heaviest
albums
yet:
"It's
far
more
aggressive
than,
you
know,
our
last
few
records,
I'd
say.
I
think
we
kinda
just
went
in
this
time
and
just
started
writing,
and
obviously,
all
the
stuff
that
came
out
was
just
way
aggressive.
That's
what
kind
of
made
it
fun.
It
was
weird
being
out
in
Malibu,
which
is
like
a
sunny
place,
a
happy
place,
and
we
just
started
making
some
straight

music." |

has
officially
moved
into
the
Morning

house
(made
famous
by

to
continue
writing
for
the

The

is
incredible.
The

focused
on
nothing
but
writing.

The
band
will
be
leaving
Sacramento
soon
and
relocating
to
Malibu
for
about
three
months.
They
will
record
their
fifth
album
there.
The
studio
is
nestled
in
a
home
that
overlooks
the
Pacific
Ocean
and
was
used
by
Incubus
on
its
"Morning
View"
album.
The
Deftones
will
arrive
in
Malibu
with
song
ideas
that
the
band's
been
scraping
together
since
January
in
its
West
Sacramento
rehearsal
spot.
If
we're
lucky,
a
new
Deftones
album
may
be
out
by
year's
end. |

As
everyone
knows,
the
Deftones
are
in
their
Spot
in
Sacramento
since
January.
Streetwise,
their
management,
reports
that
the
band
has
been
working
feverishly
with
the
intention
of
beginning
recording
their
fifth
record
in
June.
So,
it's
almost
sure
that
we
will
listen
to
new
great
music
within

The

is
closed.
It
doesn't
mean
that
the
release
of
the
5th
album
is
imminent
but
for
sure
we
won't
have
to
wait
3
years
for
it!
I
hope
for
a
late
summer
release...
And
I
hope
they'll
still
put
online
some
little
movie
of
the
band
in
studio
as
for
the
last

So
this
is

"the
last
two
album
cycles,
we
had
the
mindset
of
taking
time
and
making
everything
right
and
being
meticulous
about
it;
I
think
_now
we're
going
to
do
the
exact
opposite,
to
write
as
best

furiously

as
we
