Well, it seems they settled on a spring launch, as an interview with guitarist Stephen Carpenter has now tied the record to an April 8 street date. We look forward to hearing the whole record and hopefully a Sacramento tour date (hint, hint, Ace of Spades).Late last year, Deftones drummer Abe Cunningham revealed that the alt-metal band had a few 'tentative dates' in mind for their next LP release. We think it’s called “Tropics,” and it’s way more mellow than one might expect when thinking about Isis meets Deftones. “We turned hotel rooms and backstage areas into temporary recording studios,” Harris wrote.Īs of press time, Submerge was able to find one song online after searching around a bit. “I couldn’t be happier with both the experience of creating this album and how it turned out.” In early March, Harris met up with Deftones on tour so that he and Moreno could wrap up vocals for the record. On ApHarris posted on his blog ( ) that the debut Palms record had been completed and handed over to the their label, Ipecac Recordings, for a Jrelease date.

Not only does he front the always busy and internationally huge rock band Deftones, last year he released an EP with his Crosses project (featuring Shaun Lopez of Far and Chuck Doom) and joined a newly formed band called Palms with three members of now-defunct post-rock group Isis (drummer Aaron Harris, guitarist/keyboardist Clifford Meyer and bassist Jeff Caxide).
