Deftones premiered a new track ‘Prayers/Triangles’ from their upcoming album, entitled Gore, yesterday on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 Radio Show.

The record which follows their 2012 release Koi No Yokan is set to go on sale April 8.

On their decision to introduce Gore with this particular track, Chino Moreno told the radio presenter, "It's one of those songs that's very Deftones-esque."

The frontman described the LP as “a good representation” of where the band is at, “that dynamic is there as far as that ebb and flow, those parts that go at your throat, but it also has a soothing quality to it. That dichotomy I think is what makes us who we are — it's sort of our DNA.”

The Californian rock group are scheduled to kick off their tour this spring with an appearance at Musink Festival in Costa Mesa, California on March 5.
