With a sound that melds the ethereal with the aggressive, Deftones have carved out a unique space in the world of alternative metal and nu metal. Hailing from Sacramento, California, this band has been captivating listeners since 1988. The lineup features the haunting vocals of Chino Moreno alongside the driving guitar work of Stephen Carpenter and the powerhouse drumming of Abe Cunningham. Chi Cheng’s bass adds depth, while Frank Delgado’s skills on keys and turntables enhance their sonic landscape. Tracks like "My Own Summer (Shove It)" and "Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)" showcase their ability to blend heavy riffs with atmospheric melodies. Deftones don’t just play music; they create experiences that linger long after the last note fades, inviting fans into a world of raw emotion and sound.
