Frank Delgado and Abe Cunningham of Deftones chatted with NME backstage at Download Festival in June about the band’s future, the coming metal wave and the 25th anniversary of their second album ‘Around The Fur’.
The Sacramento metal veterans performed Donington Park for the fifth time in June, matching glam-rock legends and headliners KISS in that department.
But unlike KISS, Deftones don’t have any immediate plans for retirement. Or, to use the drummer Cunningham’s words: “F**k no! We just sat at home for three years. We’ve got tonnes of fire to keep doing this.”
Delgado remarked that the band was “still only scratching the surface” of their renowned 2020 album ‘Ohms’.
“It feels like we’re only just getting started,” he said. “We open with a new one as well. (‘Genesis’) is a banger and we feel it deserves attention.”
Speaking about the year ahead, the band’s Cunningham said: “Maybe we’ll try and jam on some new songs. There’s always a little something brewing”.
