They hoped it might be made available by the end of the year, but it appears that the Deftones have put their new album back until 2010.

According to The PRP, the album is expected to be given a release in February of next year. After shelving material recorded that was scheduled to be called ‘Eros’, Chino Moreno told us the following about what to expect from the new album:

“When it’s heavy it’s going to bust your brain but the biggest thing about the record is that it sounds massive,” smiles Moreno. “It has our core sound but it’s different again from our other records. We just know that we’ve got a killer record that we’re all proud of. You’ll understand why when you hear it.”
