While Deftones may have emerged out of the nu metal scene of the mid ’90s, their musical maturity and sonic evolution over the past 25 years has distanced the Sacramento, California, outfit from others in that category. Right away, you’ll see that the “last place” album is a very solid effort. And they’re also a rare band who really hasn’t produced a “bad” album, which makes ranking Deftones’ discography a difficult task. ĭeftones are a rare band who appeal to metalheads and shoegazers alike, offering a sound that’s both heavy and ethereal. This time, we follow Deftones’ career, from their 1995 debut, Adrenaline, to their most recent effort, 2016’s Gore. It’s exact science by way of a few beers. Welcome to Dissected, where we disassemble a band’s catalog, a director’s filmography, or some other critical pop-culture collection in the abstract.
