Gore is the upcoming eighth studio album by the American alternative metal band Deftones, set to be released on April 8, 2016.[1]

Background

In March 2014, while front-man Chino Moreno was touring with his side project Crosses, in support of their self-titled debut album, the rest of Deftones began writing a follow up to 2012's Koi No Yokan.[2] Deftones also previously reported that they intended to record a new album either in late 2014 or early 2015.[3]

In late February 2015, just after the band had finished the new album's drum tracks, Moreno told Rolling Stone that he expected to be done tracking the album by the end of March, that Deftones had written 16 songs during the album's sessions and that it would probably be released in September or October. He described the album as "a little more of a heady record" than the previous album.[4] The album was then tentatively scheduled to be released on September 25, 2015.[5]

In an interview with 92.3 KOMP FM hosts Carlota and Sparks, Moreno revealed that Jerry Cantrell (Alice in Chains) will appear as a guest on the album.[6]

On May 15, 2015, Moreno was interviewed by Kerrang! about the new album, which he described by saying, "The songs have a lot of different moods." He further explained that it was not a "happy record," but also "not a completely angry record".[7]

On August 21, 2015, it was revealed by Moreno in an interview that the new album's release had been pushed back to late November, as final mixes as well as the title, cover and liner notes were still being completed.[8] It was also revealed that bassist Sergio Vega utilized a six-string bass when recording the new material, helping to push the band into new sonic territory.[9] On October 26, 2015, drummer Abe Cunningham clarified that the band are still working on mixes, album art and song titles, and the new album will be coming out in the first part of 2016.[10] On January 22, 2016, during an interview held at The 2016 NAMM Show, guitarist Stephen Carpenter revealed the release date of the new album to be April 8, 2016.[1]

On January 27 the band posted a 30 second teaser video to their website featuring new music from the album and confirming the album title Gore.[11]
