The forthcoming new Deftones album is without doubt one of the most eagerly anticipated releases of 2010. After the horrific car crash that has left bassist Chi Cheng in a coma, the band have decided to keep plugging away and ‘Rocket Skates’ in the first serving.
It kicks off with a numbingly heavy riff before Chino Moreno’s utterly unmistakable croon slithers in which lead onto some urgent sounding verses. This is then accentuated by Chino shifting to his abrasive shriek. But following that, the chorus has a vintage Deftones charm to it, oozing that inimitable vibe that drifted on records like White Pony.
The new album Diamond Eyes is released on May 18th.
