DEFTONES Singer Says New Album Will Be 'Way Aggressive'

August 19, 2004

Launch Radio Networks is reporting that DEFTONES recently spent a month writing songs in Malibu, California, and after a club tour in October to road test the material, they will start recording their fifth album with producer Bob Ezrin (KISS, JANE'S ADDICTION, PINK FLOYD). Frontman 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 evil music."

In addition to the new DEFTONES CD, Moreno is finishing work on the first album by his side project, TEAM SLEEP. A November release is expected, with a tour to follow in December.

DEFTONES' last album, 2003's "Deftones", debuted at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 chart with more than 167,000 copies sold during its first week of release.
