Deftones have shared the new track, ‘Hearts/Wires’, from their upcoming Gore album
April 4, 2016
Deftones have unveiled one more new song from Gore album – the track titled ‘Hearts/Wires’. It’s the third track revealed from their forthcoming record, following ‘Doomed User’ and ‘Prayers/ Triangles’. The fresh song premiered last night on Daniel P Carter’s BBC Radio 1 Rock Show. During the program, singer Chino Moreno and guitarist Stephen Carpenter also shared their thoughts on writing ‘Hearts/Wires’. You can check out Deftones’ new song and the discussion aired on Radio 1 below.
The band’s upcoming album Gore is due for release on Friday, April 8. The process of recording Gore was not the easiest stage in Deftone’s discography. Carpenter explicitly expressed his dislike of the music direction his band mates chose to follow on the new album. The guitarist admitted to Rolling Stone that for him ‘Hearts/ Wires’ was one of the hardest songs to play on. “That song made me think of Wild Bill the whole time – psycho killer and shit,” he explained. “I just didn’t feel it. I had to embrace my inner psycho rapist and come up with the part and get into it.”
Deftones will jump back on the road on May 8 for another run of shows in the US, booked till mid June. The group will aslo appear at a few festivals, including London’s Wembley Arena on June 3. Wembley Arena concert was initially scheduled for 2015 but got postponed in the light of Paris attacks last November. The band will then head straight to Download Festival 2016.
