Deftones’ debut album, Adrenaline (1995), is an electrifying introduction to the band’s raw intensity and genre-defying creativity. Combining the grit of alternative metal with elements of punk, hip-hop, and post-hardcore, the album laid the foundation for their unique sound. Tracks like "Bored" and "7 Words" highlight Chino Moreno’s dynamic vocals, shifting between melodic introspection and fierce aggression, while Stephen Carpenter’s crushing riffs drive the album’s unrelenting energy. Though rough around the edges, Adrenaline is a visceral, emotional, and cathartic debut that captured the frustration of the 1990s youth and hinted at the band’s future brilliance.
