Music video

The music video for "Hexagram" shows excited fans entering a building to watch a live performance of the song. As such, the majority of the video focuses on this performance, with small exceptions like a shirtless, incapacitated Moreno lying on the floor during the moody bridge. Audio for the video is entirely off the studio recording until the very end which features live crowd noise. Many shots during intense screaming revolve around other band members as such intense vocal performance would be impractical in an actual live setting. "Hexagram" found significant airplay on "Headbangers Ball" and "Uranium" in late 2003.

Reception

In reviewing "Deftones", Stephen Thomas Erlewine writes that "Hexagram," the album's opener, "hits hard — harder than they ever have, revealing how mushy Staind is, or how toothless Linkin Park is.
