We grew up in the same neighborhood, spending every day in the garage together, at school, after school. “Then, ten, fifteen, twenty years later, we're all grown adults with children living in different cities — so when we go back on tour it's like we get to go back to clubhouse.

Moreno continues: "We don't try to box ourselves in to these pre-conceived ideas, but we have talked about getting together sooner rather than later to start making noise together — just out of pure excitement of creating music." DEFTONES continue to tour in support of "Gore" and start a new North American run on June 9 in Chicago. "Gore" debuted at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 chart, having shifted 71,000 equivalent album units in the week ending April 14, 2016.
