According to guitarist Stephen Carpenter, during collaboration with Dan, Deftones seemed to be pursuing the "more technical", math metal-based elements of the band's sound. They then worked with Dan the Automator for about a week. They initially considered enlisting Ken Andrews of Failure and Ric Ocasek of the Cars, but to no avail. They then began searching for a producer and started recording. Deftones spent most of the summer there, resulting in an album's worth of material that Moreno described as "straight evil music". On April 30, 2004, they announced they would be relocating to Malibu, California, to continue writing the album at Morning View House, famous for being the place that Incubus recorded their fourth album, Morning View. They began pioneering ideas for a new album at their studio, The Spot, in Sacramento, California. In early 2004, Maverick Records told Deftones they needed to head into the studio due to the lackluster sales of the band's self-titled effort. The final result was an album met with critical praise.īackground Early writing and recording Complicating matters and inspiring many of its songs were frontman Chino Moreno's drug addictions and the crumbling of his marriage. Saturday Night Wrist was the product of an arduous and stressful creative process lasting roughly two years and straining relationships within the band. He eventually died five years later from cardiac arrest. It was also the last Deftones album to feature bassist Chi Cheng, as well as the last album of his career and his lifetime, prior to being involved in a serious car accident in 2008, which put him in a coma.
Despite early contributions that were later scrapped, it marked the departure of mainstay Deftones producer Terry Date. Saturday Night Wrist is the fifth studio album by American alternative metal band Deftones, released on October 31, 2006, by Maverick Records.
