Deftones songs: Are they Nu Metal? Alternative? Or are these songs just flat out sexy regardless of genre?
Coachella just kicked off the music festival season, and one of the many artists that was there (besides Taylor Swift making out with Travis Kelce) was the Deftones. The Sacramento-based alt metal band have been quiet as of late. The last time we heard from them was back in 202o when they dropped “Ohms.”
It’s true that album was not as successful as their past music. But, was anybody’s music successful? 2020 left a hole in the music world (I’ll talk about that another time).
What’s In Store For The Deftones
Every Toners favorite Deftones songs are about to re-emerge, and not just the old stuff done live at Coachella. According to loundersound.com, the band is almost done with the recording process of a new album. All that is left is Chino recording his vocals. Full transparency: Chino is my favorite singer of all time. Those are some sexy pipes that man possesses. Guys, I’m talking about his vocal cords.

Deftones songs have quite a history in the metal and alternative scene. They are a catalog of wonderfully hard, heavy and sexy music. Yes, sexy. Very much so. They have so much sexuality in their music. So much so, in fact, that the band once told me they have had a lot of babies made to their music.
And I believe them.
The world got the first taste of Deftones songs when the band popped on the scene in 1995 after Madonna signed them to her “Maverick” label. They came out swinging with the album Adrenaline and the iconic “7 Words”. Over the years, the band crafted their sound to be heavy, making mosh pit goers happy. But they also curated a sound that most people don’t associate with “Nu-Metal” or whatever you want to call them. This band is full of sexy sensual, “lets make some babies” sounds. Here are some of their best.
