11 Deftones See Details for Deftones

Deftones are the chameleons of the metal world. They were once quoted saying, during the nü-metal craze, something along the lines of "we're not part of them, and you will still see us standing when the rest are long gone." Indeed. While the majority of those bands are now defunct, and those remaining are but parodies of their former selves, Deftones continue to innovate and mature. Songs can still be heavy enough to blow the lid off your home, or soft (but still interesting) enough to play on the radio. They navigate between all things alternative as well as the post-metal and groove metal worlds. This has always been one of my favorite bands, and a large part of what got me into metal to begin with. Always excited to hear new material from Chino and the gang.
