Deftones Tickets - Camden Tour Dates 2013

American alternative metal icons Deftones paid tribute to late rapper Chris Kelly at a gig earlier this week, following his untimely death on Wednesday evening.

Can we rank this Californian quintet among the greats yet? If we're talking sheer consistency, Deftones score highly, maintaining a standard of output that is at least as strong as any metal band in the world. From the exuberant 'Adrenaline' to the dignified success of 'Koi No Yokan', these guys don't do bad albums (although they themselves seem to disagree).

There have been some true revolutions in music the past year. Despite the decline in sales of the guitar band, bands across the globe are still penning some truly remarkable music using a cacophony of different styles, techniques and influences to evolve and refine their sound. Some of the acts featured here have been around for a small eternity, but still managed to release a record in the last twelve months that could, quite possibly, change your life. Some of them have hit the charts running. Some of them you may never have heard of. But I promise you, if you have interest in music, real music, you should go out and obtain a copy of all of these because not doing so means you miss out.

Letlive. are to make their anticipated return to the UK during the build-up to the release of their new album in 2013. They get to tick off an item from their bucket list too, seeing as their live return will come in the form of a tour with Deftones.

Ahead of the Deftones new album “Koi No Yokan” release on Monday, the band have decided to stream it online for free to allow fans and the curious a weekend to absorb it before its official release.
