The Deftones are back! Today they released a brand new track entitled "Rocket Skates", and made it available for free download here. This song will be included on the Deftones' new record which will see the light of day on May 18th. The Deftones previously scrapped an entire album entitled "Eros", and headed back into the studio to record what will now be called "Diamond Eyes". The band has decided to carry on without bassist Chi Cheng who is still in bad shape after a 2008 car accident. If you would like to make a contribution to Chi's recovery visit the fundraising site that was set up in his honor here.
"Rocket Skates" will be available for purchase on April 17 as an exclusive, limited-edition seven-inch vinyl single pressing with a picture sleeve that supports National Record Store Day.

Deftones are back with their sixth full-length album, Diamond Eyes. This will be their first release in four years! The hiatus was a result of Deftone’s drummer, Chi Cheng’s, involvement in a car accident January of 2009, leaving him in a coma. Cheng’s condition, although improving, put the release of their previous studio effort on hold until further notice. The new album has been recorded with longtime friend of the band, Sergio Vega, who stepped in for Cheng in Spring of 2009. Diamond Eyes is due in stores May 4th. Hear the album live at one of their upcoming stops on tour May and June. To read more visit illuminablockparty.com.
