Deftones continue to receive plenty of acclaim for their 'Koi No Yokan' album, with the disc making many year-end Top 10 critics lists, including a No. 1 spot on Loudwire's 10 Best Rock Albums of 2012. But the success for the band is bittersweet as they've been doing it without the services of longtime bassist Chi Cheng, who has mostly been in a comatose state since his 2008 car accident.
Chino Moreno is a busy man with a thirst for great music, and the Deftones vocalist says that while his band and the 'Koi No Yokan' album are his main priorities, he's also keeping himself occupied with various side projects in his spare time.
Deftones vocalist Chino Moreno has joined forces with ex-Isis members Clifford Meyer (guitar/keyboards), Jeff Caxide (bass/keyboards) and Aaron Harris (drums) to form the new band Palms.
August 2, 2011 Deftones vocalist Chino Moreno has joined forces with Far guitarist Shaun Lopez to form the new side project known as 'Crosses' (or †††). If you're interested in how this will sound, you are in luck; you can download the entire 5 song EP right here.
