Deftones Pay Tribute to Mastodon's Brent Hinds at Tour Kick-off Show in Vancouver
On the initial night of their Private Music tour, the alt-metal band dedicated the 2012 track, "Entombed," to Hinds, marking the track's first time being played in eight years.

Deftones paid respect to a heavy metal icon in Vancouver.
Last Friday (August 22), on the opening night of their Private Music tour, the alt-metal band performed their track “Entombed” at Rogers Arena, dedicating it to the late Mastodon co-founder and guitarist, Brett Hinds, who died last week in a motorcycle accident.
About halfway through the band’s set, they played the track from 2012's Koi no Yokan, which peaked at No. 13 on Billboard Canadian Albums chart — it hadn’t been played live since 2017.
“I dedicate this song to a very dear friend, Mr. Brent Hinds,” the band’s frontman, Chino Moreno, told the crowd before launching into the song, which elicited cheers from the crowd. In 2010, Mastodon toured with Deftones and grunge band Alice in Chains.
Throughout the night, the band debuted three new songs —“My Mind is a Mountain,” “Infinite Source” and “Milk of the Madonna” — live from their album, Private Matter, which was released on Friday.
