Deftones
Metal

Coming together in 1988 as mere high school students, Deftones (Chino Moreno/Vocals; Stephen Carpenter/Strings; Chi Cheng/Bass; Abe Cunningham/Drums; Frank Delgado/Turntables,Keys) have been a thunderous reminder for over a decade that popular music has not been dried out completely.

Coming together in 1988 as mere high school students, Deftones (Chino Moreno/Vocals; Stephen Carpenter/Strings; Chi Cheng/Bass; Abe Cunningham/Drums; Frank Delgado/Turntables,Keys) have been a thunderous reminder for over a decade that popular music has not been dried out completely. Masterfully intertwining heavy guitar riffs, whisper-to-scream vocals, and a pounding rhythm section

with textural sound effects and keyboards, Deftones' sound is unique and fresh, constantly expanding amongst the stagnant world of their peers.



Credited with the founding of a dynamic soft-to-loud songwriting style and the ushering in of a new wave of music with 1995's Adrenaline, Deftones have pushed forward the sound barrier on all subsequent releases, Around The Fur (1997), White Pony (2000), Deftones (2003) and most recently, Saturday Night Wrist (2006). On all releases, Deftones manage to put the mood and atmosphere before the brutality, an intelligent form of head-banging. « hide
