Deftones: Gore: 2xLP

2xLP

Since Deftones' inception, the multi-platinum, Grammy-winning alternative rock band from Sacramento, CA have quietly been pursuing two paths, delivering songs defined by churning, double-fisted aggression while also testing the boundaries of music by incorporating elements of psychedelia and shoegaze. The Los Angeles Timeswrote of Deftones, "Hard rock thrives on conflict and chaos, and no band has found more beauty and soaring aggression within those ingredients than Deftones."

The band returned in 2016 on Warner Bros. Records with their eagerly awaited eighth studio album, Gore. The album was produced by Matt Hyde and Deftones and features lead single "Prayers/Triangles." Says singer Chino Moreno of the album: "Out of respect for Pac, Big, Stevie, Michael, Hendrix, Gore is one of the greatest albums not the greatest, just one of." Debuting at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, the critically acclaimed Gore served as the group's highest charting entry since their 2003 eponymous album.
