不知您是否記得電影「The Crow:City of Angels」中有一場名為「Day of the End」得的Festival。其中,有一群名不見經傳的年輕小伙子狂吼了一曲"Teething"。這手歌之後亦手收錄在該電影原聲帶中。不是很有印象?那「Escape From L.A」的電影原聲帶裡,有一首歌是什麼來著.....?.....對! "Cant Even Breath"。現在腦中總算開始浮現他們的形象了吧!
「Adrenaline」不僅使Deftones的音樂受到電影界的青睞,更與Bad Brains、Korn、White Zombie等搖滾前輩同台演出,舉行了長達13個月的巡迴演。時隔二年,這個以純粹音樂能量撼人耳目的四人組合,獻出了最新專輯「Around The Fur」。驚人的極限搖滾動力,依舊是整張專輯的發聲基調。而較前作更為成熟、自然的創作態度,則使Chino的詞句展現高度的說服力與敘事性。例如在專輯標題曲"Around the Fur"中,Chino以融合女性陰柔氣息與Hardcore式撕吼的噪音,述說它對於黑暗世俗的耽溺。類似議題也出現在"MX"一曲中,討論的則貪婪的意象。
Deftones introduced themselves to the world with "adrenaline", a critically acclaimed set which featured fan favourite tracks such as "bored" and "7 words." but it was with "around the fur" that the band earned the attention of a far larger audience as it topped the billboard heatseekers chart, helped in part by two of the band s most famous moments my own summer (shove it)" and " be quiet and drive (far away).
