The whole album is great, not just a few songs. But compared to other albums, the door certainly seems far from shut on the final material recorded by Chi and his friends in those halcyon days of creativity and reconciliation. That album wasn’t called Diamond Eyes though, it was called Eros and it was supposedly written and recorded throughout 2008 and expected to be released in early 2009. With the band currently expected to release album number nine before the year’s end, it seems Deftones are too busy to tidy up Eros for the time being. We know that there is interest in the album from the die-hards but I’m sure we will do the right thing at the right time with it… it’s something that could surface in the coming years.” “There is some really fucking bad-ass stuff on that album, but also stuff that’s not that good in my opinion. “If anything at all, I see some tracks from it coming out in some form or another,” Abe told Irish website Overdrive. However, in 2017 drummer Abe Cunningham seemed more optimistic that Chi’s final recordings could see the light of day. If the record were finished and we were just sitting on it, we probably would have put it out by now, maybe even given it away, just so that people can hear it, but it would take a lot more work to get it done.” Yhtyeen suurimpiin vaikuttajiin kuuluvat mm. Deftones kuuluu modernin yhdysvaltalaisen metallin eturintamaan innovatiivisella popin ja metallin elementtejä yhdistelevällä musiikillaan, kuten mm. Once Chi had his accident, everything came to a halt with the Eros sessions, so the idea of going back to that batch of songs, finishing them and have Sergio learn Chi’s parts just hasn’t felt like something that we’re interested in doing. Deftones on yhdysvaltalainen alternative metal -yhtye, joka on kotoisin Kalifornian Sacramentosta. I had faith it was going to come together and be great in the end, but we never got to that point. Some of the music was lacking a little bit. “Musically it’s probably 75-80% done and lyrically it was about halfway there, but honestly, I wasn’t too happy with the material we had. After Cheng’s accident, Deftones halted production on Eros. As a result, he was left in a minimally conscious state until his death in 2013 of cardiac arrest. In an interview with The Independent in 2016, Chino was still unresolved on the matter. In 2008, while Deftones were working on an album tentatively titled Eros, Cheng was involved in a traffic collision. Though it was taken down by the band’s label, it’s the only tantalising glimpse of an album that the band have been asked been questioned about ad nauseam in the years since, but are understandably apprehensive about revealing to the world. To mark the one-year anniversary of Chi’s passing, Chino uploaded a song, Smile, to YouTube.
