California-based rock band DEFTONES will release its eagerly awaited eighth studio album, titled "Gore", on April 8 via Warner Bros. Records. "Gore" is available for pre-order beginning today at www.deftones.com. Those who pre-order will receive an instant download of the first single, "Prayers/Triangles". The album was produced by Matt Hyde and DEFTONES.

Says DEFTONES singer Chino Moreno of the album: "Out of respect for Pac, Big, Stevie, Michael, Hendrix, 'Gore' is ONE of the greatest albums — not the greatest, just one of."

In addition, the DEFTONES music store will be offering an exclusive and limited-edition 180-gram, double LP vinyl version of "Gore". This will be limited to 3,500 foil-stamped and numbered gatefold jackets and is available for pre-order here.
