Grammy-winning alternative rock band Deftones have announced
the November 13th release of their seventh studio album, entitled KOI NO YOKAN.
To support the release they will hit the road on a nationwide headlining tour,
with special guest Scars On Broadway, which kicks off October 9th in Ventura,
CA and will conclude on the West Coast mid November. Tickets on sale next
Friday, September 7 via Ticketmaster.com.
KOI NO YOKAN was recorded in Los Angeles, CA with Nick
Raskulinecz (Alice In Chains, Foo Fighters, Rush) who also produced Diamond
Eyes. Front man Chino Moreno summed up Deftones' sound in a recent interview
with Entertainment Weekly, saying "Obviously we're an
aggressive band - not the heaviest, but there's a lot of attack. He
continues, "But there's also this lush beauty that flows within everything
that we do, and that's my favorite part of the band. To me, it's the epitome of
what the Deftones do."
From their 1994 debut Adrenaline to their
platinum-certified, Billboard chart-topping, Grammy-winning breakthrough album White
Pony, Deftones have continually crossed-over genres, defied categorization
and delivered compelling live performances around the world. The
Sacramento band's 2010 release Diamond Eyes was named iTunes'
"Rock Album of the Year," as well as KERRANG!'s 2010 Album of the
Year. Diamond Eyes also graced many other critics and readers
"Best Of" lists, including MySpace, AOL Noisecreep, Alternative
Press, MOG, and Drowned In Sound.
