9 Famous Albums The World Will Never Hear

2. Deftones €“ Eros

Deftones are an alt metal band originating from Sacramento, California. Founding in 1988, the band has released seven studio albums since its formation in 1988 and sold a huge number of records, even winning a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.

Despite the band's incredible success, their history isn't without tragedy. While writing their sixth studio album Eros, bassist Chi Cheng was in a car accident that essentially rendered him comatose. Even though they had basically completed the record, the band decided to shelve the project, wanting to better represent themselves as musicians and what they were currently going through.

Even though there is tragedy associated with Eros, the band is not ashamed or disparaging of the material. This has led many fans to wonder what exactly the material contains, and what the final recorded music of bassist Chi Cheng €“ who died of a result of the crash in 2013 €“ might sound like.
