Just last month, Deftones shared the first track from their new album Koi No Yokan, and the song 'Leathers' is still available as a free download from the band's website.
Speaking about the new record, frontman Chino Moreno told Stereoboard: “Obviously we’re an aggressive band – not the heaviest, but there’s a lot of attack."
He added: "But there’s also this lush beauty that flows within everything that we do, and that’s my favorite part of the band. To me, it’s the epitome of what the Deftones do.”

Speaking about the recording process, drummer Abe Cunningham said (as quoted by NME): "We kind of adopted this new way of doing things, where we'd have a 7 or 8 hour work day instead of just working on things a piece at a time. It enabled us to be a lot more efficient."
Singer Chino Moreno added: "In the past, one of us would write something, record it, and then weeks – or even months – later, someone else would come along and add to it. We had totally lost that communal vibe.
"This time, all of the songs started with just the five of us together in a room, playing."
