Deftones formed in Sacramento, California by vocalist Moreno, guitarist
Carpenter and bassist Chi. They were a small band and touring with KoRn helped them get a
name for themselves andthey recorded their first album, Adrenaline in 1995. The singles from the latter album did not receive much attention but from Around The Fur they found further fame. DJ Delgado joined the album prior to the album White Pony and was a valuable addition to change the sound of the band for the better. Their music can be described by many adjectives used for music; brutal, fierce, soft, melodic, erotic... a melting pot of different ways to describe the sound of one of the most admired nu-metal bands at the moment. |
