Deftones
[ CD ]

Deftones - Deftones The kings of moody, atmospheric metal are back with their eponymous fourth album, and boy, do they deliver the goods. Deftones have always been known for their ability to blend delicate melodies with crushing riffs, and this album is no exception. From the opening track "Hexagram," it's clear that Deftones are not here to play it safe. The walls of sound that guitarist Stephen Carpenter conjures up are nothing short of epic, while Chino Moreno's haunting vocals dance above it all like a ghost in the machine. Tracks like "Minerva" and "Deathblow" showcase the band at their most melodic, with lush, dreamy hooks that will stick in your head for days. But don't be fooled - there's plenty of heavy, headbanging moments to be found here, like on the blistering "When Girls Telephone Boys." Overall, Deftones have crafted an album that is as dynamic and powerful as anything in their discography. It's a testament to their longevity and creativity that they can still produce music of this calibre after all these years. If you're a fan of heavy music with a touch of the ethereal, this one's for you. So crank it up, close your eyes, and let Deftones take you on a wild, emotional ride.
