It was released on 8 April 2016. The lead single Prayers/Triangles was released on 4 February 2016. The album was produced by Matt Hyde and Deftones. It features a guest appearance from Alice in Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell. Bassist Sergio Vega used a six-string bass guitar to record the new material, helping to explore a new, different sound.
In May 2015, Chino Moreno (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) gave some details on the new album to Kerrang!: "The music is what inspires the lyrics and the songs have a lot of different moods. I'm not gonna say it's a happy record, it's not a completely angry record".
Moreno poked fun at one of Kanye West's tweets by stating: "Out of respect for Pac, Big, Stevie, Michael, Hendrix, Gore is ONE of the greatest albums not the greatest, just one of".
A second single, Doomed User, was released on 16 March.

M
on Needles & Pins
The song "Needles and Pins" by Deftones, featured on their self titled album “Deftones," is a passionate plea for the intimacy and connection between two people in a crowded yet lonely world. The lyrics express admiration and awe for the beauty and charisma of the person the singer is addressing, likening them to a "star" with an alluring presence that outshines everything around them. The use of metaphors, such as "you're pins, I'm needles" and "Put the cross between me and you," suggests the two people are meant to complement each other, fitting together like puzzle pieces.
The repetitive use of the phrase "Here we are" throughout the song serves to almost anchor the two people to each other amidst the chaos of the outside world. The lyrics also encourage the two people to "tune out" from the surrounding noise and distractions and focus solely on each other, finding solace in their shared passion for music and the "sound" they create together. Ultimately, the message is one of defiance and strength against any external forces that might try to come between them.
