Deftones are back with the sultry, sex-charged and oddly titled 'You've Seen the Butcher,' the third single from their acclaimed 2010 album 'Diamond Eyes.'
The song follows two previous single releases from the album: 'Rocket Skates' and 'Diamond Eyes.'
An extended introduction featuring dry, muted stabs of guitar creates an ominous setting. Then the drums explode and things start resembling a condensed, more loving version of Jane's Addiction's tribal-beat classic 'Ted, Just Admit it.'
Instead, lead singer Chino Moreno verbally stalks his romantic conquest for the evening: "I wanna watch you close / I need to see for sure / After the tapings through / Who do you think we can show?" At no point is an explanation of the song's title offered to the listener.
Deftones are currently in the midst of a tour with fellow hard rock boundary-pushers Alice in Chains and Mastodon. If you wanna get yourself in the mood for that tour, check out 'You've Seen the Butcher' on AOL Radio's New Rock First station.
