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.

After their stop in Vancouver, Deftones will continue to tour across the nation, including this week’s dates at Calgary’s Scotiabank Saddledome (August 25) and Winnipeg’s Canada Life Centre (August 27). Next month, they’ll perform two shows at Toronto’s Rogers Stadium on September 3 and 5, followed by Quebec City’s Centre Vidéotron on September 7 and Montreal’s Centre Bell on September 9.

Julia Wolf Reveals Drake DM That Led to ‘Dog House’ Collab: ‘He’s a Super Open-Minded Guy’

"Dog House" debuted at No. 86 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100.

Julia Wolf went from a relatively unknown artist to notching a Drake collaboration seemingly overnight. The emerging singer joined the Zach Kang Show on Monday (Oct. 27), where she detailed how a Drake Instagram follow and DM led to them eventually collaborating on “Dog House” in September.

“We were freaking out, it was like 6 in the morning… It’s 6 a.m. and Tanner’s waking me up [at] 6 in the morning — ‘Champagnepapi followed you!'” she recalled. “Then it’s freaking Drake, and he DMs me lyrics of ‘In My Room.’ How do you have a regular day?”
