Deftones Release First Song of off New Album, Reveal Tracklisting

One of my favorite bands, Deftones, have released the first song off of their new album, and also revealed the tracklisting in the process. The band took to their Facebook page to release “Leathers” for an exclusive download through their official website. “Leathers” will appear on the upcoming KOI NO YOKAN, which is scheduled for a November 13 release.

After first listen, “Leathers” seems to be a track that Deftones fans should really like. The band picked a great song to start the buzz leading up to the release date of their seventh full-length album. Deftones have already announced a little more than a dozen tour dates and one would expect more to be announced as they near the release of this upcoming album.
