About Deftones

Deftones, from Sacramento, California, have made a significant mark in alternative metal since their formation in 1988. Their second album, ‘Around the Fur’ (1997), was a pivotal moment for them, elevating their presence in the music scene after their debut ‘Adrenaline’ (1995) had already secured them a loyal following through extensive touring. ‘Around the Fur’ showcased their ability to mix aggressive riffs with atmospheric sounds, all enhanced by Chino Moreno’s unique voice that alternates between harsh screams and melodic singing.

Their discography is rich and diverse, showcasing a unique style that resonates with fans. Songs like “My Own Summer (Shove It)” and “Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)” became powerful anthems of the nu-metal genre. With their groundbreaking third album, ‘White Pony,’ released in 2000, Deftones solidified their status as innovators, featuring standout tracks like “Digital Bath” and the iconic “Change (In the House of Flies),” celebrated for its lyrical depth.

Additional notable songs like “Minerva” and “Diamond Eyes” exemplify their dynamic sound and Chino Moreno’s impressive vocal range, blending heavy riffs with atmospheric elements.

Known for their electrifying live performances, Deftones have cultivated a loyal fanbase worldwide. They have toured extensively alongside major acts like Korn and Ozzy Osbourne, and made memorable appearances at festivals such as Download Festival and Rock Werchter.

Critically acclaimed for their genre-blending approach, Deftones initially emerged from the nu-metal movement but quickly evolved, incorporating elements of shoegaze and electronic music, particularly evident in ‘White Pony.’

Their accolades include a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 2001 for “Elite,” and they have surpassed 10 million albums sold globally, with several achieving platinum and gold certifications, affirming their influential role in contemporary rock music.
Deftones’ impact on music is substantial, inspiring numerous bands across various genres. Many artists, including Linkin Park and Chevelle, have noted Deftones’ influence, particularly in blending heavy music with melody and emotion. Their legacy continues to grow, marking them as one of the most respected bands in contemporary heavy music.
