In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Chino Moreno gave an update on the new Deftones album. He said the band has about 16 songs written and that the album is expected to be released in either September or October.

Here’s what Moreno had to say about the release:

“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.”

“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.”

In other news, a 15 second snippet of some new Deftones may have also been leaked online, thanks to a friend of the band. You can check that out below:
