Overview
- Users on the Sharing Lungs fan forum posted what outlets say were eleven unfinished tracks from the 2007–08 Eros sessions plus demo versions of 2020’s Ohms, a leak first reported across outlets on Monday and Tuesday, June 22–23, 2026.
- The PRP published a list of working titles included in the files — Destiny, Brenda, Melanie, Smile, Margot, Candy, Sable, Electra, Trempest, Diamond and Briana — and notable tracks that frontman Chino Moreno once called near-complete, like “Dallas,” were not present.
- Forum moderators removed the uploads and locked the thread, and Deftones and their label have not issued an official statement on the recordings’ authenticity or how the files were obtained.
- The material’s unfinished state has divided fans, with some arguing listening to or sharing the files would disrespect the band’s choice to shelve Eros after bassist Chi Cheng’s 2008 crash, while others say archival interest justifies scrutiny.
- Beyond questions of provenance, the leak could prompt legal or rights actions, force the band to address long-dormant archival decisions, and reignite debate over how artists’ incomplete work should be preserved or released.
