Chino Moreno‘s Deftones side project Crosses has premiered the video for the song “Protection.”

The clip, which was partly inspired by The Exorcist, shows a woman seemingly haunted by unseen forces, cut with footage of Moreno performing with his Crosses band mate, Shaun Lopez.

You can watch the “Protection” video streaming now on YouTube.

The song “Protection” dropped in March alongside another new tune, “Initiation.” The tracks marked the first new, original music from Crosses since their self-titled debut album was released in 2014.

Meanwhile, Moreno and Deftones are prepping to launch a U.S. tour this Thursday in Portland, Oregon. The pandemic-delayed trek will support the latest Deftones album, 2020’s Ohms.
