Entombed


"Entombed" is a track by Deftones, the American alternative metal band known for blending heavy guitar textures with atmospheric, shoegaze-influenced tones. The song showcases the band's signature approach of contrasting dense, down-tuned riffs with spacious, ambient passages. For electric guitarists, it offers a compelling study in dynamics, tone shaping, and the interplay between aggression and restraint that defines the Deftones sound.

  • Deftones hold one multi-platinum, two platinum, and three gold RIAA certifications across their extensive discography.
  • The track runs approximately 4 minutes and 59 seconds, giving guitarists extended sections to explore tonal contrasts.
  • Deftones have released ten studio albums, building a deep catalogue of guitar work spanning alternative metal and shoegaze styles.
Gibson Les Paul Standard
Guitar

Gibson Les Paul Standard

The definitive rock guitar. Its mahogany body, maple top and PAF-style humbuckers deliver warm, thick sustain with natural compression. From Slash to Jimmy Page, the Les Paul Standard is the backbone of hard rock tone.

Gibson Les Paul Custom
Guitar

Gibson Les Paul Custom

The 'Black Beauty' - Gibson's premium Les Paul with bound neck, multi-ply binding and upgraded hardware. Its ebony fingerboard and heavier construction give it a darker, more refined tone compared to the Standard.

Gibson SG Standard
Guitar

Gibson SG Standard

Lighter and more aggressive than the Les Paul, the SG's slim mahogany body and twin humbuckers produce a raw, snarling midrange. Angus Young's weapon of choice - perfect for high-energy rock and hard-driving riffs.

Gibson Explorer
Guitar

Gibson Explorer

A bold angular body shape with serious tonal punch. The Explorer's mahogany construction and humbuckers produce a thick, powerful sound favored by James Hetfield, Jimi Hendrix in his early days, and many metal players.

Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier
Amp

Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier

The benchmark for modern high-gain tone. The Dual Rectifier's massive low-end, compressed saturation and scooped midrange defined the sound of 1990s and 2000s alternative and heavy metal. Tool, System of a Down and countless others.

Ibanez Tube Screamer TS9
Pedal

Ibanez Tube Screamer TS9

The most clone pedal in history. The Tube Screamer's mid-hump overdrive character pushes a tube amp into a creamy, singing lead tone while cutting bass frequencies for clarity. Stevie Ray Vaughan stacked two of them.
