Deftones, private music
Each member’s strengths are on high alert, making the alt-metal band’s thrashing and highly imaginative 10th album a thing of brutal beauty.

Quadeca, Vanisher, Horizon Scraper
The YouTuber-turned-rapper’s production style reaches a new zenith, with the LP’s intensity perfectly complementing Benjamin Lasky’s verses exploring obsession, alienation, and self-destruction.
