"You've Seen the Butcher" comes off Diamond Eyes, Deftones' sixth studio album, from 2010, and it was the last of the record's four singles. Nick Raskulinecz produced and mixed it and Paul Fig engineered, with Chino Moreno singing and playing guitar alongside Stephen Carpenter, Sergio Vega on bass, Abe Cunningham on drums and Frank Delgado on keyboards and samples.
The Jodeb Films video strands the band in a battered library floating in midair while books rain from the sky and a crowd of young women closes in, grabbing at them; at the bridge the ceiling starts gushing blood, and by the end Deftones are drenched in it. It premiered on Myspace and MTV2 on October 28, 2010, and the drum kit and keyboard from the shoot were auctioned to raise money for bassist Chi Cheng.
