“Prayers/Triangles” by Deftones

Deftones opened the Gore era with "Prayers/Triangles", which Reprise sent out on February 4, 2016 as the first single from their eighth studio album. Chino Moreno wrote the words and the band shares the music credit, and they produced it with Matt Hyde, who also recorded and mixed it, with Chris Rakestraw engineering.

It first arrived with an audio video by Chris Buongiorno that set the flamingos from Gore's cover flying. Two months later came the proper clip, directed by Charles Bergquist: the band playing, Moreno running down a street, shot mostly in black and white with flashes of orange, pink, yellow and green, and triangles scattered all through it. Synthwave artist Com Truise later remixed the song, and his version went out as a single in June 2016.
