Gore by Deftones
Gore is an album by Deftones, released in 2016. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Prayers/Triangles”, on 2 lists with a best position of #60.
Gore, Deftones' eighth studio album, arrived on Reprise on April 8, 2016, and it's a record built on a tug of war between frontman Chino Moreno and lead guitarist Stephen Carpenter. Rolling Stone summed it up as Moreno doing Morrissey against Carpenter's Meshuggah, and the friction is exactly what makes it crackle.
Matt Hyde produced with the band, and the Sacramento veterans (Moreno, Carpenter, drummer Abe Cunningham, Frank Delgado on keys and samples, Sergio Vega on bass) let the two impulses crash into each other: gauzy, floating vocals over riffs that land like concrete slabs. "Prayers/Triangles" is the gateway, beautiful and menacing at once. Critics loved it, and it debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, the band's highest showing since their self-titled album in 2003 and their fifth album to open in the top ten.
