Saturday Night Wrist is the fifth studio album by American alternative metal band Deftones, released on October 31, 2006 by Maverick Records. Despite early contributions that were later scrapped, it marked the deviation of mainstay Deftones producer Terry Date. It was likewise the last Deftones album to feature bassist Chi Cheng, as well as the last album during his career and his lifetime, as he was forced to exit the band later on being involved in a serious auto accident in 2008, which put him in a coma. He eventually died 5 years later from cardiac arrest.
Saturday Night Wrist was the product of an arduous and stressful creative process lasting roughly 2 years and straining relationships inside the band. Complicating matters and inspiring many of its songs were frontman Chino Moreno's drug addictions and the crumbling of his marriage. The terminal upshot was an anthology met with critical praise.
Background [edit]
Early writing and recording [edit]
In early 2004, Maverick Records told Deftones they needed to caput into the studio due to the lackluster sales of the band's self-titled endeavour. They began pioneering ideas for a new anthology at their studio, The Spot, in Sacramento, California. On April 30, 2004, they announced they would be relocating to Malibu, California, to continue writing the anthology at Morning View House, famous for being the identify that Incubus recorded their fourth anthology, Forenoon View. Deftones spent most of the summer there, resulting in an album'south worth of material that Moreno described as "straight evil music".
They then began searching for a producer and started recording. They initially considered enlisting Ken Andrews of Failure and Ric Ocasek of the Cars, merely to no avail. They and then worked with Dan the Automator for about a calendar week. According to guitarist Stephen Carpenter, during collaboration with Dan, Deftones seemed to be pursuing the "more technical", math metal-based elements of the band'south sound. After some deliberation, nonetheless, Moreno and drummer Abe Cunningham successfully pushed for working with producer Bob Ezrin (Pinkish Floyd, Alice Cooper, Kiss) and engineer Brian Virtue.
Deftones so took a short break before planning a month-long tour with Dredg and C-Minus to road-test some material starting in San Francisco, California, and ending in Hartford, Connecticut, most where Ezrin's studio was located. Recording of the album began in November 2004. During the sessions, tensions mounted within the band and between vocalizer Moreno and producer Ezrin. Moreno eventually jumped ship to proceed work on his side project Team Slumber while the rest of the band continued recording. The Ezrin sessions concluded before Christmas and the band relocated back to their home base in Sacramento to take a break.
In early on 2005, Deftones started tweaking the Ezrin material with Virtue at their studio The Spot, writing several new songs in the process. Moreno decided to have a break from recording in the spring to tour with Team Slumber, who were also releasing their long-awaited debut album. Moreno claimed that this was good for him, as he was somewhat unable to focus on the recording sessions due to his speed and alcohol addictions, likewise as the dissolution of his longtime wedlock to wife Celeste.
Hiatus [edit]
The remainder of the band, while broken-hearted to stop the album, decided it would exist best to take a break from music. During the hiatus, Deftones released a 10-year anniversary CD/DVD, titled B-Sides & Rarities, on October iv, 2005. It included one of the songs from the Virtue sessions, a cover of "Wax and Wane" by Cocteau Twins. In late 2005, Moreno met with Date to aid tape vocals for some of the remaining tracks. The band likewise managed to quickly record a encompass of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy" for Amnesty International likewise equally an iTunes sectional cover of the Cars' "Bulldoze".
Continuation on production [edit]
In early 2006, all previously recorded vocals were scrapped and the band started working on the album again with longtime friend Shaun Lopez (of Far and the Revolution Smile) acting as producer. The album was edited by Ryan Gorman. Finally, with all recording finished in April 2006, the anthology was mixed by Ryan Williams.
The album featured musical contributions from Annie Hardy of Behemothic Drag and Serj Tankian of Arrangement of a Downwardly; the latter besides contributed to the writing of one song, "Mein".
Carpenter stated in interviews that a significant portion of the songs were based on ideas by Moreno and that "Pink Cellphone", minus Hardy'due south vocals, was "all Chino". In fact, Moreno plays second guitar on many of the songs, including "Hole in the Earth", "Beware", "Scarlet Waves", "U,U,D,D,L,R,L,R,A,B,Select,Start", "Xerces" and "Rivière". However, Moreno stated that "Rats!Rats!Rats!" was "all Stephen". Carpenter wrote and recorded all guitar parts on "Rapture", "Rats!Rats!Rats!" and "Kimdracula", but likewise played guitar and wrote guitar parts for all songs except "U,U,D,D,L,R,L,R,A,B,Select,Start", where he played drums and Moreno played guitar. The title for the latter song was a reference to the Konami Lawmaking, a famous video game cheat code.
The writing and recording process of Saturday Night Wrist was fraught and placed strain on the relationships inside the band. Moreno stated that making it was "a seriously unhealthy experience", and that information technology "dragged on without much direction". Following its cosmos, after leaving to piece of work on Team Sleep, he stated that he "wasn't sure if [he] was going to return".[2]
Lyrical themes [edit]
Moreno described the lyrical subject field matter of some of the songs in later interviews. He explained that "Kimdracula" was part of his email address at the beginning of making the tape, during his heavy drug-utilize stage. "Beware" was a alarm to others about sex activity, drugs and drinking, which were the three main problems he encountered during the anthology's cosmos. A story about a witch that Moreno wrote during his drug stage was told in "Rivière". "Ruddy Waves" was nigh testing the trust a person has in someone else. The confusion Moreno experienced when making Saturday Dark Wrist was illustrated in the song "Rapture". Communication issues betwixt the divided band, during the making of the album, were captured in "Hole in the Earth".
Moreno explained the record'southward title as being a reference to the nerve damage caused when an intoxicated person falls asleep on their arm. He elaborated on the title, referencing "when y'all're lone on Saturday nights and your only best friend is your shaking wrist".[3]

Saturday Night Wrist was released on Oct 31, 2006. It was leaked on the Internet on October thirteen, over 2 weeks prior to its release. Atomic number 82 single "Pigsty in the Earth" was sent to radio on October 16.
A collection of 16 demos from the Ezrin sessions later became bachelor online, containing rough vocal mixes of "Ruby Waves" and "Gainsay", an instrumental version of what would become "Finger of Death", and several instrumentals recorded by the band without Moreno that did not make the final cut.
