Deftones stream Prayers/Triangles

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 Goredue 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.
