Once Chi had his accident, everything came to a halt with the Eros sessions, so the idea of going back to that batch of songs, finishing them and have Sergio learn Chi’s parts just hasn’t felt like something that we’re interested in doing. I had faith it was going to come together and be great in the end, but we never got to that point. Some of the music was lacking a little bit. “Musically it’s probably 75-80% done and lyrically it was about halfway there, but honestly, I wasn’t too happy with the material we had. In an interview with The Independent in 2016, Chino was still unresolved on the matter. Though it was taken down by the band’s label, it’s the only tantalising glimpse of an album that the band have been asked been questioned about ad nauseam in the years since, but are understandably apprehensive about revealing to the world. Deftones ascended to elder statesmen of hard rock in the 2010s, recording albums that added breadth and depth to their sonic arsenal a 2020 remix release of White Pony with Mike Shinoda and DJ Shadow among the many remixers serves as testament to their wide influence.To mark the one-year anniversary of Chi’s passing, Chino uploaded a song, Smile, to YouTube. Longtime bassist Chi Cheng was seriously injured in a car crash in 2008, and the band put things on hold for a while, releasing Diamond Eyes in 2010. The 2003 release Deftones, highlighted by the fuzzed-out single “Minerva,” and 2006’s Saturday Night Wrist continued their evolution. Their 2000 breakthrough, White Pony, was a creative leap for the band, incorporating shoegaze’s shimmer and post-rock’s sprawl into its sound while spotlighting Moreno’s haunting, soaring vocals. In the chaotic world of ’90s alt-rock, they were an underground success, their fanbase steadily growing thanks to constant touring and devoted listeners spreading the word.
Formed in Sacramento, CA, in 1988, the group, led by vocalist/guitarist Chino Moreno, had a fluctuating lineup early on, with the membership falling into place around 1993. Blending the bludgeoning power of metal with the detailing of shoegaze and the ambition of prog rock, Deftones have influenced the modern-rock landscape in many ways.
