Alice In Chains' Jerry Cantrell Guest On New Deftones Album

05/11/2015
. (Classic Rock) Deftones' eighth album will feature a guest appearance by Alice In Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell, frontman Chino Moreno has revealed. The band decided to extend the invitation after deciding one of the tracks on the follow-up to 2012's Koi No Yokan needed something extra.

Moreno tells 92.3KOMP: "Jerry is on the album. I don't know if he wanted anybody to know or not, but I guess I've spilled the beans. There's one track, in the demo stages, I was like, 'There's this hole in there.' In Deftones songs there's not really any guitar solos, but there was a section where it could use something like what he does."

Cantrell sent back a demo two days after the band made contact, then recorded the final version in their studio. "It's like you're hearing a Deftones song - but all of a sudden a bit of Alice In Chains seeps in," says Moreno. "As a fan, I was just sitting back and a little tear came out of my eye."
