Deftones' Around the Fur is the sophomore album that catapulted the band further into the realm of extreme, genre-defying metal. Released in 1997, the album sees the California quartet expanding upon the raw aggression of their debut Adrenaline, adding darker, more atmospheric elements to create a sound that is as haunting as it is aggressive. Now available as a high-quality 180g vinyl edition, this pressing delivers the full force of Deftones' sonic firestorm, with rich, powerful sound that every fan deserves to experience.
From the blistering opener “My Own Summer (Shove It)” to the moody “Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away),” Around the Fur explores a unique fusion of ferocity and fragility, with Chino Moreno’s multi-faceted vocal performance leading the charge. His psychotic, breathy whispers alternate with otherworldly screams, while guitarist Stephen Carpenter’s heavy yet agile guitar work crafts a muscular wall of sound that drives the entire album forward.
The album features powerful collaborations, including “Headup,” with a guest appearance by Sepultura’s Max Cavalera, and “MX,” a scathing commentary on rock-star excess featuring vocals by Annalynn Cunningham, wife of Deftones’ drummer Abe Cunningham. Throughout Around the Fur, Deftones showcase their ability to seamlessly blend eerie, industrial atmospheres with explosive, full-throttle aggression, making it an essential album for fans of heavy music.
