Ever since the   Deftones  initially announced details regarding ‘Diamond Eyes,’ their first studio offering since bassist Chi Cheng’s tragic car accident which left him in a semi-comatose state, the release date for the record has changed. First, we were told the disc would be out on April 27. Then, it was pushed back three weeks to May 18, which has been the set-in-stone date for more than a month. But now, things have changed again.

Perhaps prompted by the March 18 leak of the album, reportedly by an online music journalist, the album has now been moved forward to a May 4 release, which is fantastic news for fans who can’t wait much longer for the new D-Tones tunes.

Meanwhile, the Deftones have started taking pre-orders for ‘Diamond Eyes’ online, with those who order the disc now an instant download of the M83 remix of the album track ‘Rocket Skates.’

To psych fans up for the new disc, the band released a teaser trailer for ‘Diamond Eyes,’ which features an awesome picture of an owl.
