Released in 2003, Deftones is the band’s self-titled fourth studio album, marking a darker and more experimental turn in their sound. With crushing heaviness contrasted by haunting atmospherics, the record pushes beyond the boundaries of nu-metal into more complex, textured territory. Standouts like Minerva and Hexagram showcase their trademark blend of aggression and melody, while tracks such as Lucky You and Anniversary of an Uninteresting Event highlight their willingness to explore electronic and ambient influences. Brooding, intense, and deeply immersive, Deftones remains one of the band’s most ambitious works.
