Rocket Skates, the first single from the Deftones’ forthcoming Diamond Eyes has just hit the good ol’ internups in all its studio-recorded glory. Have yourself a listen.

As Johnny reported after catching the band peform the song live at the Cypress Hill Smokeout back in October, it sounds like a supercharged White Pony outtake. And that’s a good thing.
Diamond Eyes hits shelves May 18th. We’ve got more details right here.
LOVES IT!!!!!
Yeah, this kicks ass…Consistent with the continuum they’ve been on, actually. I wonder what Eros sounds like, because if this is supposed to be a filler album, I’d really like to hear what they were intending to release as their “next effort.”
I get an Inhale Exhale vibe from this song, not to suggest that Deftones are doing anything derivative — I know it’s the other way ’round. Must just be the band dynamic of having one guitarist.
Can’t wait to hear the rest! Deftones are the shit!!
I dig it a lot !! Great track , I don’t know if having one or three guitarists matter , they are always recording many tracks anyway so in studio it doesn’t matter if you have one guitar player or whole army…
My ass has been kicked.
Yeah, these guys are back. No doubt.
Bang that head!
Sounds…
Interesting.
Odd choice for a single if you ask me
/:)
Can’t say enough good things about this track. Watching them open their show with it a few months back was fantastic.
Fuck. Yes.
That 8 string guitar is heavy like elephant tits. Love it!
More Please Now
Never got into these guys, ‘passenger’ was the shit though
This is really nice. Can’t wait to hear the rest of the album.
Is it just me or has Chino become the single most predictable singer ever? It’s like I knew his vocal melodies before I heard them. Weird.

internups is dumb. is it a marriage joke? are you married to the internet? I don’t get it
Wow,
that sounds lovely,
these guys are incapable of making a bad sounding album,
Thanks Skwerl, always know how to show me up! So glad I saw this. :)
Great song but this sounds like anything off of Bad Brain’s “The Quickness” album. Song as a really nice groove to it though.
Makes me wanna listen to Bad Brains now until the album comes out.
