Deftones formed in Sacramento, California, in 1988 around vocalist Chino Moreno, guitarist Stephen Carpenter, and drummer Abe Cunningham. Bassist Chi Cheng joined during the band’s early development, and turntablist and keyboardist Frank Delgado gradually became a full member as the group expanded beyond the direct aggression of its first recordings.

The band signed with Maverick Records and released Adrenaline in 1995. “Bored,” “7 Words,” “Engine No. 9,” “Root,” and “Fist” introduced a rhythmically heavy style shaped by metal, hardcore, hip-hop, and alternative rock. Extensive touring turned the album into a long-term success rather than an immediate commercial breakthrough.

Around the Fur followed in 1997 with “My Own Summer (Shove It),” “Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away),” “Lhabia,” “Mascara,” and “Headup.” The album also contained the hidden recordings “Bong Hit” and “Damone.” During the same period, Deftones contributed “Teething” to The Crow: City of Angels and “Can’t Even Breathe” to the Escape from L.A. soundtrack.

White Pony arrived in 2000 and marked a major expansion of the band’s sound. Electronic production, dream-pop atmosphere, unusual song structures, and heavier contrasts shaped “Digital Bath,” “Knife Prty,” “Passenger,” “Change (In the House of Flies),” and “Pink Maggit.” “Elite” won the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.

The self-titled Deftones album followed in 2003 with “Hexagram,” “Minerva,” “Bloody Cape,” “Deathblow,” and “Anniversary of an Uninteresting Event.” The single for “Hexagram” also included “Lovers,” one of the period’s most important non-album recordings.

B-Sides & Rarities appeared in 2005, collecting acoustic reworkings, original rarities, and covers of songs by Jawbox, Cocteau Twins, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Helmet, Sade, the Cure, the Smiths, and Duran Duran. The later Covers collection added the instrumental “Sleep Walk” and brought many of those interpretations together on one release.

Saturday Night Wrist arrived in 2006 after a difficult and fragmented recording process. “Hole in the Earth,” “Cherry Waves,” “Beware,” “Mein,” “Kimdracula,” and “Rivière” pushed the atmospheric side of the band further while retaining the weight of Stephen Carpenter’s guitar work.

Chi Cheng was seriously injured in a 2008 automobile accident while Deftones were working on an album titled Eros. The project was suspended, and Sergio Vega joined the recording lineup for Diamond Eyes in 2010. Cheng remained in a minimally conscious state until his death in 2013.

Diamond Eyes and Koi No Yokan began a renewed period of activity. Songs including “Rocket Skates,” “Sextape,” “You’ve Seen the Butcher,” “Leathers,” “Tempest,” “Rosemary,” and “Entombed” joined direct physical impact with increasingly detailed ambience.

Gore followed in 2016, while Ohms arrived in 2020 with producer Terry Date. The twentieth-anniversary edition of White Pony was paired with Black Stallion, an eleven-track remix album featuring reinterpretations by Clams Casino, DJ Shadow, Robert Smith, Purity Ring, Mike Shinoda, Tourist, Squarepusher, and others.

Sergio Vega left the band after the Ohms era. Deftones continued around Moreno, Carpenter, Cunningham, and Delgado, with Fred Sablan appearing on bass during the sessions for the next album and supporting the band on tour.
