From the archives: The Deftones album that became a turning point

A story of staying power — In the late '80s Deftones were just a bunch of friends - some skater kids from Sacramento who came together to create sound. Today they are a global rock force that continues to blast through boundaries imposed by genre tags. They’ve fought tension, tragedy and the vices of success. Now, at the dawn of a new album, Deftones are standing tall. To celebrate the release of 2016's Gore, we look back on the story of Diamond Eyes, the 2010 album that helped them push past their most challenging years.
