Deftones

Dark, heavy, and hypnotic—Deftones' 2003 self-titled album is a crushing yet atmospheric dive into the depths of emotion and intensity. Known for their ability to seamlessly blend alternative metal, shoegaze, and post-hardcore, Deftones pushes their sound into even murkier and more aggressive territory. Chino Moreno’s haunting whispers and primal screams, Stephen Carpenter’s sludgy, downtuned riffs, and Abe Cunningham’s pounding drums make this record one of their most sonically intense.

From the sinister groove of Hexagram to the melancholic beauty of Minerva and the raw aggression of When Girls Telephone Boys, every track on this album feels visceral, layered, and deeply immersive. This isn’t just another Deftones album—it’s a defining moment in their evolution, balancing eerie ambiance with explosive heaviness.

Now pressed on high-quality vinyl, Deftones takes on a new level of depth, with its dynamic contrasts and rich textures fully brought to life in analog warmth.
