Deftones have officially decided to head back into the studio to re-record their follow-up to Saturday Night Wrist. The band was set to release Eros in early 2009 until bassist Chi Cheng was seriously injured in a car accident on Nov. 4, 2008. The band announced on their official Web site that they “realized that this record doesn’t best encompass and represent who we are currently as people and as musicians.” The band, however, said it’s likely that Eros‘s original form, featuring Chi on bass, would eventually see the light of day. As we look forward to new Deftones material, the band asks that you continue to channel positive energy into the universe for Chi’s recovery. You can follow Chi’s status and donate to the cause at Oneloveforchi.com.
