Album Description
Available in:
Gore is the eighth studio album by the American alternative metal band Deftones, released on April 8, 2016.

In March 2014, while frontman Chino Moreno was touring with his side project Crosses in support of their self-titled debut album, the rest of Deftones began writing a follow-up to 2012's Koi No Yokan. Deftones also previously reported that they intended to record a new album either in late 2014 or early 2015. In late February 2015, just after the band had finished the new album's drum tracks, Moreno told Rolling Stone that he expected to be done tracking the album by the end of March, and that Deftones had written 16 songs during the album's sessions. He described the album as "a little more of a heady record" than the previous album.

Lead guitarist Stephen Carpenter expressed a difficulty getting into the feel of the album initially, comparing the feel of the song "Hearts/Wires" with being a serial killer. He stated, "I had to embrace my inner psycho rapist and come up with the part and get into it." Despite creative differences, band members noted the collaborative nature of the album and considered the tension between differences of musical styles to be a strength.

Bassist Sergio Vega utilized a six-string bass when recording the new material, helping to push the band into new sonic territory. Jerry Cantrell (Alice in Chains) provided guest guitar on the track "Phantom Bride".

On May 15, 2015, Moreno was interviewed by Kerrang! about the new album, which he described by saying, "The songs have a lot of different moods." He further explained that it was not a "happy record," but also "not a completely angry record".

The music on Gore has been compared to the band's 2006 album, Saturday Night Wrist, noting its experimental and atmospheric sound. Several critics have also noted a post-metal sound on Gore.
