Deftones frontman Chino Moreno has revealed in a recent interview with Rolling Stone that the plan is to release their next record around September/October. The band has been recording the follow-up to Koi No Yokan and produced 16 songs for the new album, the most tunes the group has ever recorded for an LP. You can start anticipating the upcoming offering from the alternative metallers.

The band is working with producer Matt Hyde once again and they expect the tracking to be done by the end of March.

Moreno explained: "The songs are amazing, and we wrote them in a really cool way. We had all of us in a room together with one person expressing an idea and another person jumping on it. The songs are really built as a collective. We have five guys who have almost completely different takes on music, so when it works, it works great."

He described the new material: "I think it's a little more of a heady record. I feel like we've gone into the songs and really dissected them. If something sounded a little straight, we took a left turn and made things a little screwy. We just tried something completely opposite, not to sabotage it, but to challenge ourselves and try new things that we haven't done in the past. It definitely feels like we've taken a step from our last record. But it's definitely a Deftones record, and it has all the elements that make us who we are. We're not going out there to change anything, other than just thinking outside the box."
