Comments on the writing process
Warrel Dane: “These songs are full of newfound rage, lyrically and musically. Jeff Loomis has come up with some amazing new riffs that will no doubt please old and new fans alike. Also, I think the combination of Peter and Andy(production & mixing) will result in something very, very special.”
Jeff Loomis: “I think that with the new Nevermore, it still sounds like the band, but I think I’m giving Warrel a little bit more room this time around for more vocals rather than all the notey, kind of complex stuff and all that, so this time around it’s just a little bit more wide open musically for him to really be able to do whatever he wants vocally this time around. So we’ll see what happens. It’s gonna be an interesting album for us, for sure.”

Diamond Eyes is the titled of DEFTONES‘ latest album, scheduled to be released on May 18th, via Reprise. The tracklist of the album is available below.
Vocalist Chino Moreno talks about the album,
“The dynamics Deftones are known for aggressive overtones and lush openness. They’re on opposite sides of the spectrum, but we meld them together without sounding contrived. There are a few heavy songs, too, like our first couple records, and there are also experimental tunes — but there’s not a minute on this record that feels like it doesn’t need to be there. Each sound complements the other. I’ll straight-up say it: it’s definitely one of our best albums.”

American thrash metallers EXODUS will release their newest offering titled EXHIBIT B: THE HUMAN CONDITION on May 7th, 2010. Guitarist Gary Holt comments on the cover:
We wanted to portray the violence of man at its finest, so we started with our own version of the Leonardo da Vinci sketch [of Vitruvian Man], but done the ‘Exodus’ way! I was pointed in the direction of Colin Larks of Rainsong Design for the cover and he killed it! To me, the artwork represents man and his affinity for bloodshed, ignorance, and all-around ability to be led like sheep to the slaughter. The image fits the songs on this record perfectly. The whole layout is going to as sick as the record itself
