Mascara for me. Haunting.

Most of their songs are just original anyway I reckon.

wow..bloody cape a strange deftones song? interesting. personally, i think it's a typical deftones song which has all the deftones elements.it's heavy and dark but has energy and passion. it has got soft vulnerable vocals mixed with cocky attacking rhythmic singing to stef's beafy guitar.a typical calm breakdown followed by a scream attack - the dynamics are all there. probably the most back to basic track on s/t

Bloody Cape is my favourite song of any band and Hexagram is one of my favourites. Maybe they're not strange but to me they are original and unorthodox.
What's really cool is that their original sound is so natural - It doesn't sound forced, like the band went into the studio and said ''ok lets make this really experimental'' and they didn't resort to using electronics and gadgetry in an effort to sound original.
I don't really know how to explain it but I'll start with Bloody Cape.
The verses aren't really anything weird but the way Chino sings them is definitely different to anything else out there. Then the chorus is kind of half shouted - I can't explain what makes it different, I just know there's nothing that sounds like this song and noone can try and imitate it.
Hexagram - yes I've heard a lot of songs with growling but those blood curdling screams Chino pulls off are like nothing else. Then the chorus is pretty unorthodox with with Chino screaming ''Worship, pray pray pray''
I think it's hugely original and can't think of anything remotely similar.
I mean just listen to Chino sing it live and tell me the song especially the chorus is pretty standard fare:

Deftones - Hexagram (live) INCREDIBLE
