During a fan Q&A shared by The Guardian, Deftones frontman Chino Moreno offered an update on “Eros,” the album that was shelved following late bassist Chi Cheng’s 2008 car crash. He said the following:

“We’re always asked about ‘Eros‘. It will most likely never see the light of day. That would involve going back to that period and resurrecting unfinished things, and somehow bringing them to completion. ‘Dallas‘ is the only song that was anywhere near finished. This new album started with ideas we’d been working on alone, through the pandemic. And when we got together to actually start making the record, none of us wanted to look back at those ideas from the pandemic – we wanted to capture the moment we’re in today. So going back to try to capture what was happening back during ‘Eros‘, and finishing those ideas, doesn’t really make sense.”
