Deftones have released their brand new single 'Sextape', featuring two live B-side recordings, 'Diamond Eyes' and 'Root'.
‘Diamond Eyes' is a powerful combination of muscular impact and expansive atmospherics that charts the latest development in the band’s ever growing sonic range. Opening with the title track’s grinding riffs and near subliminal hook, the album’s range encompasses the blowtorch attack of ‘CMND/CNTRL’ and the sinister melancholy that underpins 'Beauty School’. As ever, the album blends the band’s seamless ability to float between genres. New single ‘Sextape’ glides with an eerie, discomforting beauty, while the combination of battering rhythms and Chino Moreno’s harsh howl ensure that ‘Royal’ demonstrates Deftones’ continuing ability to enthrall with visceral sounds. You can check out the video to album track 'Sextape' below.
Having released one of this year’s most critically acclaimed albums, 'Diamond Eyes', Sacramento’s finest return to our shores this November for a UK tour. Not only are Deftones one of the most important bands in modern rock, they are also one of the most explosive, passionate live bands you will ever see.
Deftones frontman Chino Moreno: “We’re excited to be returning to the UK and Europe this Fall for our first proper headline run for Diamond Eyes. The new stuff is sounding huge live and has been a blast to perform, as well as the oldies but goodies we plan to sneak in the sets. It's gonna be rad!"
Support on the UK tour comes from Coheed and Cambria. Frontman Claudio Sanchez is equally excited about the tour: “We are really psyched. I love the new Deftones record and to be able to return to the UK and Europe with them is really exciting, it’s the perfect tour for us.”
