Deftones frontman Chino Moreno has revealed the band have started working on their eighth album.
Speaking to Rolling Stone at Melbourne's Soundwave Festival, Moreno admitted he hasn't started work on the record himself, but his bandmates have. "The other guys started last week - I'm excited to hear what they've done so far."
Moreno also detailed the band's recording process, describing it as natural rather than regimented. "We don't plan on what kind of record we're going to make," said Moreno. "We react to each other – one guy starts playing something then the other guy reacts to it, and the other guys react to that. Next thing we know, we have a song. I think that's the best, organic way to write music. It's worked for us over the years."

The forthcoming album, the follow up to 2012's Koi No Yokan, will be the band's first since the death of their longtime bassist Chi Cheng, who was taken off life support last year after being seriously injured in a car accident in 2008. Moreno admitted Cheng's death was "very hard" at the time of his late bandmate's passing.
