The 10th Deftones studio album.

Fred Sablan is the new bassist.

Who's taking up bass on the new record? Why no one asked that...

We don't need to ask lol he's been playing bass for them for almost 2 years now.

Every album has a certain vibe. Both Diamond Eyes and Ohms in my opinion have an "invigorated" type of sound.

When he was asked if there would be anything new or any surprises on the new album, it was like he was caught off guard. I get a strong feeling the answer was "No, just a banger Deftones album again" but he didn't want to say that of course.

I adore every album and practically every song (except "Graphic Nature", can't dig it). I am *all in* on just another Deftones album, don't get me wrong. I shouldn't base my assumptions off an answer to one question he wasn't expecting, but it's fun to speculate. I am thinking this might be a very "safe" album. Also, my prediction is March 2025 release. I'd love to be wrong on that though.
