Our Take

DEFTONES' sophomore album, "Around The Fur", is a sonic journey through the dark, moody depths of alternative metal. From the haunting vocals of Chino Moreno to the crunchy, distorted guitars of Stephen Carpenter, this album is a masterclass in atmospheric heaviness.

The opening track, "My Own Summer (Shove It)", sets the tone for the rest of the album with its infectious riff and aggressive energy. Moreno's vocals soar and plummet, adding a sense of urgency to the already intense instrumentation.

Tracks like "Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)" and "Lhabia" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend melody with aggression, creating a unique and captivating sound. The juxtaposition of Moreno's crooning vocals with Carpenter's thunderous riffs creates a dynamic that keeps listeners on their toes.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Headup", featuring guest vocals from Max Cavalera of Sepultura. The song is a relentless assault on the senses, with pounding drums and roaring guitar riffs that will leave you breathless.

Overall, "Around The Fur" is a must-listen for fans of alternative metal. DEFTONES have crafted a dark, brooding masterpiece that is sure to leave a lasting impression. So grab your leather jacket, turn up the volume, and get ready to headbang your way through this exceptional album.

Deftones

DEFTONES: The Sacramento-based alt-metal pioneers that have been shaking up the scene since the early 90s. With their unique blend of heavy riffs, ethereal vocals, and haunting melodies, they have carved out a niche for themselves in the world of rock music. Led by the enigmatic frontman Chino Moreno, DEFTONES have consistently pushed boundaries and defied categorisation. Their discography is a rollercoaster of sonic experimentation, from the raw aggression of "Adrenaline" to the dreamy atmospherics of "White Pony" and the crushing intensity of "Diamond Eyes." Their live performances are legendary, with Moreno's haunting vocals soaring over the thunderous wall of sound created by Stephen Carpenter's crushing guitar riffs, Abe Cunningham's thunderous drumming, and Sergio Vega's pulsating basslines. DEFTONES have a knack for creating an intense atmosphere that sucks you in and doesn't let go until the last note fades away. Despite their long and storied career, DEFTONES show no signs of slowing down. Their latest album, "Ohms," is a masterclass in dynamic songwriting, with tracks like "Genesis" and "The Spell of Mathematics" showcasing the band's ability to seamlessly blend aggression and melody. In a world where rock music seems to be losing its edge, DEFTONES are a beacon of creativity and passion. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, there's no denying the impact that this band has had on the music world. So crank up the volume, close your eyes, and let DEFTONES take you on a sonic journey like no other.
