Around the Fur

Explosive, hypnotic, and dripping with raw intensity—Deftones' Around the Fur is a sonic assault that defined late-’90s alternative metal. Released in 1997, this album is a volatile mix of aggression and atmosphere, blending bone-crushing riffs with ethereal melodies in a way only Deftones can. Chino Moreno’s tortured screams and whispered confessions collide with Stephen Carpenter’s searing guitars and Abe Cunningham’s pounding drums, creating a sound that’s both chaotic and seductive.

From the relentless fury of My Own Summer (Shove It) to the eerie slow burn of Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) and the unhinged aggression of Lotion, every track is a trip into the dark, emotional depths that made Around the Fur a defining moment in Deftones’ evolution.

Now pressed on high-quality vinyl, this album delivers the full weight of its gritty, dynamic production, bringing out the deep basslines, swirling guitars, and haunting vocals in their purest form.
