If you are musically inclined like i am then you will be very happy to hear some new Deftones! so here are two tracks from the forth coming album Diamond Eyes;
1. "Rocket Skates" official video directed by 13th Witness
2. "Diamond Eyes" the title track with lyrics
Here is a quote from Consequence Of Sound that shows why this album is so important to the Deftones fan base;
"Due to a tragic accident, Deftones band member Chi Cheng was hospitalized and currently remains in a minimally conscious state. This very fact has probably altered a Deftones musical tangent in one fell swoop, possibly for the better, and in more profound ways united a fan base beyond borders. Tragedy has a way of bringing people back to basics...Deftones were in the process of recording a follow-up to 2006’s Saturday Night Wrist, an album heavily influenced by trip-hop via leader Chino Moreno’s as-of-late-stagnant side project Team Sleep. This new album was originally to be titled Eros, but after bassist Cheng entered his coma, plans were uprooted for obvious reasons. Previous recordings were put on hold in favor of “Rocket Skates” and the aforementioned Diamond Eyes. As the record title indicates, the intent here was witnessing beauty and celebrating life, and in the wake of Cheng’s fallen status such a message becomes all the more poignant. While band members have stated that pushing back the release of Eros (which will hopefully see the light of day, given its supposedly more-aggressive nature) has nothing to do with Chi Cheng’s current condition, we wish for the best on both counts."
