"Minerva" is a song by the American band Deftones and the lead single from their self-titled fourth studio album despite the album as a whole containing some of the band's heaviest work to date, Minerva itself has an uplifting alternative rock sound. It charted at No. 9 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart, No. 16 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart,[1][2] and No. 15 on the UK Singles Chart.[3]
Music video
The video for "Minerva," directed by Paul Fedor,[4] is notable for its similarity to Pink Floyd's Live at Pompeii concert film.[citation needed] The band is featured playing the song on a desert like landscape backed by various amplifiers and other stage equipment. It was filmed near the Salton Sea in southern California in 2003, during a sandstorm. The filming process itself was fraught with problems, as the sand caused problems with the recording equipment and lighting set-up. The shoot eventually took 22 hours to complete, with Abe Cunningham saying that "[the shoot] sucked" and Chi Cheng calling it "terrible", but conceding that "it [is] a trippy video. I actually like it a lot".[5]
