Chino Moreno Says Deftones’ Shelved ‘Eros’ Will Likely Stay Unreleased

Moreno says revisiting the 2008 sessions no longer fits the band’s creative direction.

Overview

  • In a new Guardian interview, he says the album will "most likely never see the light of day," citing unfinished material.
  • He notes "Dallas" is the only track anywhere near finished from the Terry Date–produced sessions.
  • The group halted work after bassist Chi Cheng’s 2008 car crash; the project was officially shelved in 2009, and Cheng died in 2013.
  • Deftones released their tenth album, Private Music, today, built from ideas developed individually during the pandemic.
  • The band is touring in support of the new record, with a headlining stop in Vancouver on Friday night.
