The world of metal and beyond has been reeling from the sudden and tragic death of co-founding Mastodon guitarist/vocalist Brent Hinds, and Deftones added their voice to the chorus of people paying tribute to Brent at their release day show for their new album private music. It went down at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena on Friday (8/22), and the show saw Chino Moreno dedicating the band’s Koi No Yokan song “Entombed” to Brent. “I wanna dedicate this song to a very dear friend,” he told the crowd, “Mr. Brent Hinds.”
The show also saw the live debuts of private music‘s three singles, “my mind is a mountain,” “milk of the madonna,” and “infinite source,” the last of which was pushed as a single and got the music video treatment on album release day. The Vancouver show marked the proper live debuts of those songs, though Deftones also performed them during a livestreamed rehearsal a few days earlier. Watch videos of all three live debuts and the Brent Hinds tribute below, along with the full setlist of Friday night’s show.
The same night that Deftones gave their tribute, Mastodon gave a lengthy tribute to Brent during their Alaska show. Among the many tributes that have been pouring out is an especially heartfelt one from The Dillinger Escape Plan’s Ben Weinman on Instagram, and you can see that below as well.
