Leigh Wannell - he of Saw, The Invisible Man and Insidious fame - has unveiled an extremely characteristic video made for Deftones' latest single 'Ceremony'. 

The four-minute spook fest shows a young protagonist journey through a series of spots (including one that looks remarkably like the bar in New Girl) and face a number of challenges, until she reaches a mystic. Who knows what the woman tells her, but it's certainly something traumatising.

Oh, the song is exceptional by the way!

"One moment we’re DM’ing each other on Twitter, and the next we’re on set making Ceremony. This has always been the best way for us to collaborate: organically, collaboratively and in this case, expeditiously." Chino Moreno said of the collaboration with Wannell.

“I’ve been a huge Deftones fan for over twenty years and have always admired the devotion they have dedicated to every aspect of their art...to get a chance to be a part of that art was a dream come true."
