Which metal band released the 1997 album 'Around the Fur'?

The story behind the answer

Deftones released the 1997 album Around the Fur.

Around the Fur was Deftones' second studio album and helped establish the band's distinctive blend of alternative metal, post-hardcore intensity, and atmospheric songwriting. It followed their 1995 debut, Adrenaline.

The album includes “My Own Summer (Shove It),” “Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away),” and “Lhabia.” Its songs contrast heavy guitar passages with quieter, more spacious sections, a balance that became central to the band's sound.

Deftones formed in Sacramento, California, in 1988. Around the Fur is often discussed alongside White Pony, the band's influential 2000 album, but the latter came three years later and has a more experimental approach.
