A metallic rush of guitars and thundering drums, Deftones' music both
epitomizes the hard-and-fast glory of post-grunge alt-metal and blows it
wide open with innovation. As the Northern California-bred quintet evolved
through a string of acclaimed albums and incessant, high-velocity
touring, they also incorporated modern rock influences including The Cure
and The Smiths into their Soundgarden/Tool/Rage Against the
Machine/Pantera-inspired sonics. Now Maverick's new compilation sheds
light on lesser-known output with covers, unreleased mixes, video B-Roll,
and other choice rarities.
