The album was originally shelved in 2009 following Cheng's 2008 car accident and has been described as a much darker, complex. With the band currently expected to release album number nine before the year’s end, it seems Deftones are too busy to tidy up Eros for the time being. At the recent Golden God Awards, Deftones vocalist Chino Moreno has stated that in light of the tragic death of bassist Chi Cheng, the shelved album Eros will finally 'see the light of day'. We know that there is interest in the album from the die-hards but I’m sure we will do the right thing at the right time with it… it’s something that could surface in the coming years.” “There is some really fucking bad-ass stuff on that album, but also stuff that’s not that good in my opinion. “If anything at all, I see some tracks from it coming out in some form or another,” Abe told Irish website Overdrive.

I had faith it was going to come together and be great in the end, but we never got to that point. Some of the music was lacking a little bit. “Musically it’s probably 75-80% done and lyrically it was about halfway there, but honestly, I wasn’t too happy with the material we had. In an interview with The Independent in 2016, Chino was still unresolved on the matter.
Though it was taken down by the band’s label, it’s the only tantalising glimpse of an album that the band have been asked been questioned about ad nauseam in the years since, but are understandably apprehensive about revealing to the world. To mark the one-year anniversary of Chi’s passing, Chino uploaded a song, Smile, to YouTube.
