Metal Anarchy

During a recent interview with The New York Times, Deftones singer Chino Moreno opened up about getting sober before the sessions for the band’s new album “private music” (out August 22). He said the following:

“I went through that thing a lot of artists fear, like whether this or that drug has something to do with my creativity. But honestly, the minute that I started being creative without it, I realized I didn’t need it. And now, maybe because of this, I feel like we made one of our best records — it stands right alongside anything that we’ve ever done.”
