Deftones recently finished pre-production on their seventh album and will enter the studio on July 9th to begin tracking the effort.

In an Spanish interview with Latercera.com, frontman Chino Moreno said “I am very excited about [it] because it sounds futuristic compared to our last album, Diamond Eyes — so it feels like a step forward.”
