'Like sadness - it can be really lovely, or beautiful, or wide open, or coarse. 'There are so many emotions that music can give you, and if you explore all sides of those, it can be really amazing,' says Moreno. Diamond Eyes works the way good records used to each song carries you a little further away from your shitty day until finally, you’ve been transported to a place that feels a whole lot better than where you started. The 11-track album is just that-an album from start to finish. As chart-toppers and headliners, they’ve crossed over genres, defied categorization and confused the hell out of your iPod ('Heavy Metal?' 'Hard Rock?' 'Alternative?') Above all, Deftones have stuck together throughout their often-turbulent tenure, and now, deliver one of the most compelling records of their career. 'We’re not afraid to be pretty.' It’s an adjective most riff-heavy groups might avoid, but then, Deftones have never been your average hard rock band.Īs kids, the Sacramento fivesome cut its teeth on Anthrax and The Smiths, Pantera and The Cure, skateboarding and “The Smurfs.” As a band out of high school, Deftones mixed trip hop with thrash, melodic vocals with crushing reverb, and yes, pretty with ugly. 'Pretty,' affirms Deftones singer and guitarist Chino Moreno when discussing their new full-length studio album,Diamond Eyes. If you know of someone going to the festival, pass the articles along and get them just as stoked as we are! For today, AFGM brings you DEFTONES!Ĭhino Moreno - Vocals | Stephen Carpenter – Guitar | Frank Delgado – Samples, Keys | Abe Cunningham – Drums | Sergio Vega - Bass | Chi Cheng - Bass I'm going to keep all feelings aside and just report on some need to know facts about these bands to make your experience at the festival a little more enjoyable. Now, for these articles, I usually throw around some opinions and constructive criticisms. Hell, even when they were on the Family Values tour a few years ago, I could swear that every drummer (aka Korn, 10 Years, Buy Your Dead, Flyleaf, Stone Sour, etc) played at least 10 seconds of that riff. The titled track itself is a drum piece that almost every drummer I come in contact with seems to know. I think "Around The Fur" was the winning album for moi and haven't looked back. But since that seemed to be the main reason why people were turned off by them (I don't blame them if they listened to "Change "), I decided to give it a lil more time and dab into a few more tracks. When my buddy (thanks to Spenser!) introduced me to them for the first time, I didn't really like the sound, mainly the vocals. Not going to lie, these guys took some time for me to get used to them and their style. For some reason, I had a feeling it was going to be a good year :-) and even purchased the tickets before the band were announced.
But yeah, it would be nice for that to see the light of day, definitely.”ĭeftones have completed their ninth studio album during the COVID-19 quarantine, with Cunningham hinting at a possible September release.I was fortunate enough to hit up the 2011 edition of HEAVY T.O. But we have to get into all the legalities of it and all that stuff and also we have to finish it. It's something that we have under our belt and when we feel the time is right we'll put it out.”Ĭunningham added that the band has talked about issuing some of the material from the record, saying, “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. 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.”ĭeftones singer Chino Moreno told us a while back why the band decided to keep Eros under wraps: “Some of it was out of respect for Chi - 'Let's just put this album, you know, in a vault for a while and, you know, hold onto it.' It's the last thing that Chi's played on, so we hold it very dear to us. Cunningham explained that the LP - the last to feature bassist Chi Cheng before a car crash put him in a coma that lasted until his death in 2013 - was never completed.Ĭunningham explained, “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.
