SERGE – We are really just passionate fans of music and passionate fans of being musicians and also very passionate of music gear. Is there a method to how you write and create music? When you guys are writing, it must be difficult to keep the momentum of pushing things forward rather than repeating the same album over and over again.
OD – This is, of course, a tour in support of last year’s most recent release “ GORE” which was yet another step into the unknown in terms of heavy music. Exclusively for Overdrive.ĭrummer Abe Cummingham and bassist, Sergio Vega kick back and discuss the past, present and future of Deftones. Having always played by their own rules, their pioneering legacy continues to venture into the unknown with unbridled confidence and swagger. However, none can match the consistent rise and rise of Deftones. Now in 2017, the few surviving bands of the great “Nu-Metal plague” (kids, ask your older siblings or your parents) continue to dabble in the business with the occasional tour or sporadic album release. Overdrive sat down with drummer Abe Cunningham and bassist Sergio Vega to discuss the new album and their different approach to the writing/recording process as well as the possibility of releasing the now mystical ‘EROS’ album.ĭeftones has played a formidable role in the history books of alternative/heavy music during a chapter that was recovering from the catastrophic Grunge fallout in the early 90’s.ĭuring the mid/late 90’s Metal music as a whole, was battered, bruised and dealing with a complicated transformation that was dividing the masses, thanks to the influx of crossover bands, which were then filed under the woeful title of ‘Nu-Metal’.Ī melting pot of influences and musical flavours dominated the headlines with a countless flurry of bands all striving for the spotlight and a shot at climbing on board the Ozzfest juggernaut. With the release of 2016’s ‘GORE’, Sacremento alt-metal five-piece, DEFTONES have never been more confident in pushing the genre’s boundaries.
