Final Friday evening in Vancouver, Deftones kicked off their North American tour in assist of their newly-released album non-public music. A number of days earlier than that, the band hosted a livestream rehearsal the place they debuted non-public music songs “my thoughts is a mountain,” “infinite supply,” and “milk of the madonna.” That livestream additionally included a uncommon efficiency of “Entombed,” a track from Deftones’ 2012 album Koi No Yokan that they haven’t carried out reside since 2017. They ended up enjoying all of these songs talked about in Vancouver, dedicating “Entombed” to the late ex-Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds.
Hinds tragically died final Wednesday evening in a motorbike accident, simply days after confirming on social media that he’d been kicked out of Mastodon. As friends in 2000s alt-metal, Mastodon and Deftones have gone on tour collectively, and I’m positive Hinds’ demise was as surprising to his pals in Deftones because it was to the remainder of us. Deftones singer Chino Moreno saved the dedication transient: “Yo, I wanna dedicate this track to a really expensive good friend, Mr. Brent Hinds,” he stated. (That very same evening, Mastodon performed the Alaska State Truthful, and in addition devoted their set to Hinds.)
