New Deftones!

Fan-filmed live footage of the Deftones performing their new track "Rocket Skates" in Portland, OR earlier this week has hit the web. The song is expected to appear on the bands next album, which they have wrapped up recording and now hope to have out early next year. No word yet on what the band plan to do with their previously completed and subsequently shelved new album Eros however. Deftones bassist Chi Cheng continues to make progress with his recovery following a car crash last November that left him in a coma with a variety of other medical complications having cropped up in the time since. For the time being, the band have recruited bassist Sergio Vega (ex-Quicksand) to fill in for him.
