The Deftones have enlisted producer Nick Raskulinecz (Alice In Chains, Foo Fighters) to helm the ongoing recording sessions for their new album. The band previously worked with Raskulinecz on 2010′s “Diamond Eyes“. A release through Reprise later this year is expected for the effort with more details pending.

Meanwhile, in case you missed it previously, the band will spend some of August on the road with System Of A Down.
