Hear New Deftones Song 'Prayers/Triangles' [Listen]

Deftones have released their first single from their forthcoming album "Gore" into the world, and it's glorious!

"Gore" will be in stores on April 8th.

Upon first hearing the song last week, my thoughts were thus...the song kind of encapsulates Deftones as a whole. It's got the melodic parts, it gets a little crunchy and heavy in the guitar/bass area, and even hits you with some screeching vocals. Then it goes and grows on you the more you listen to it.

Then I saw, today, what Deftones frontman Chino Moreno thought about it, and it's about the same:

“I feel like it’s just one of those songs that’s very ‘Deftones-esque’, where that dynamic is there as far as that ebb and flow, and that dynamic of just those parts that go at your throat. But you know, it also has a soothing quality to it as well, and that dichotomy is what makes us who we are are in a way. It’s sort of our DNA. So I feel like it’s a good representation of where we’re at right now and where we’ve been in the past as well.”
