These days, it's seen as a transitional record, one where the band is trying to find themselves again after hitting an artistic peak with White Pony. The Deftones will always be known for their unique sound, which blends elements of metal, shoegaze, and experimental rock. Believe it or not, the mystery fella is Incubus frontman Brandon Boyd's father Chuck — a former Marlboro Man — but why the hell is he slapped disembodied on this album cover? You can tell exactly what the music is going to sound like just by looking at that image, and once you actually hear frenzied bangers like "Push It" and "I'm With Stupid," there's no better visual representation than a man being zapped in the electric chair.

The interview is short but it's a pretty cool read regardless, especially considering I never really gave too much thought about the people who appear on album covers prior to this! While many nu-metal album covers play up the fun, quirky elements of the music, Korn's first record visually expresses its most frightening aspects. They are not replaceable with uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted images of comparable educational value. And even though it was a tough few years we went through while making those records, I think it was important to have their optimistic outlook.

The album Adrenaline by Deftones is widely regarded as one of the most influential nu-metal albums of all time.

Gore” will be released April 08th and the first single from it, “ Prayers/Triangles” can be streamed here. If you look at the title and the artwork it’s about a juxtaposition that, for me, is very beautiful. The album wasn't originally intended to be released, but after Cheng's accident, the band decided to finish it in his honor.Frontman David Draiman has reportedly described it as showing the birth of a ferocious monster emerging from a woman's vagina — perhaps a physical manifestation of "the sickness" itself. Several band members have battled addiction, and founding member Chi Cheng passed away in 2013 after a horrific car crash. Across the LP's 12 cuts, frontman Jonathan Davis unloads the pent-up demons he'd been carrying since his traumatic childhood, and the artwork — which pictures a young girl on the brink of losing her innocence to a foreboding beast of a man — perfectly complements the album's harrowing tellings of abuse and emotional torment.

in substitution for Chi Cheng, who was seriously injured in an automobile accident in Santa Clara, California on November 4, 2008. The album is notable for its raw and heavy sound, which was a departure from the band's debut album Adrenaline.

The fisheye lens shot of a bikini-clad woman looking a little zooted perfectly encapsulates the hazy sexuality of Deftones' music, and the fact that it was a random candid taken by Jackass' Rick Kosick at a late-night Jacuzzi party gives it that lightning-in-a-bottle sheen.

Even after its commercial success, the album was not without its critics; some reviewers accused the band of selling out and becoming too polished. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.On a nerdier level, the showcase of their canine mascot draws a direct comparison to Lou Dog, the Dalmation owned by the late Sublime singer Bradley Nowell — that band was clearly an influence on the reggae-inflected, Cali-punk-adjacent nu-metal that Snot excelled in.

It’s still a Deftones record—we didn’t really have any new influences that changed that—but it’s an expansion of what we were comfortable with.
