Every few months, Deftones like to pop into the studio for some writing sessions. We saw them do some writing (and possibly recording) back in March and in April.

With the band having a pretty light schedule, and no shows for a month and a half, they are back to what they do best – writing new music. The band shared some photos on Instagram:

Here's the band's upcoming shows, including their own curated festival. Perhaps we'll hear a new song at Dia de los Deftones.

09/30 Louisville, KY – Louder Than Life

10/05-07 Austin, TX – Austin City Limits Music Festival

10/13-14 Sacramento, CA – Monster Energy Aftershock

11/03 San Diego, CA – Dia de los Deftones
