Hear first track to be aired from upcoming 8th album Gore

Deftones have made the first track to be released from their upcoming album available to stream.

After teasing fans with a number of time-limited clips over the last few days, Chino Moreno and co have finally uploaded the full stream of the track Prayers/Triangles, taken from the band’s upcoming eighth album Gore – due for release on April 8 via Warner Bros.

Moreno previously described the follow-up to 2012’s Koi No Yokan as “a little screwy.” He said: “It’s a little more of a heady record. We’ve gone into the songs and really dissected them.

“If something sounded a little straight we took a left turn. We tried something completely opposite – not to sabotage it, but to challenge ourselves and try new things.

“It definitely feels like we’ve taken a step from our last record. But it’s definitely a Deftones record – it has all the elements that make us who we are.”

Gore is available for pre-order via iTunes.

The band have a number of US and European shows lined up for this year, including an appearance at Download on June 11.
