Deftones have teased an upcoming album potentially slated for a 2024 release.Appearing as a guest on the Gnostic Academy podcast, the band’s guitarist Stephen Carpenter confirmed that Deftones are working on a new album with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Rush, Mastodon, Alice In Chains.)The new album will mark Raskulinecz’s third collaboration with the band.

He produced 2010’s ‘Diamond Eyes’ and 2012’s ‘Koi No Yokan‘. It would be the follow-up to 2020’s ‘Ohms‘.“Just in the last couple of months, really — two or three months; well, maybe a little longer now, really; February is when we started — we’re starting to work on new material for a new record,” Carpenter said.He continued: “It’s going good now.

It was a little slow at first, but it always is; dragging our feet ain’t nothing new. But we’ve got stuff up and going now, and we’re on a good little momentum at the moment.

And we hope to have it all done and out by next spring [or] summer. There’s nothing official — no official date yet — but that’s our goal.”After being asked about the band’s songwriting process, Carpenter opened up about the combination of things that go into writing a Deftones track.
