Based in Sacramento, California, Deftones is a five-member dynamic that has continued to challenge and revive the alternative metal and rock scene. Releasing eight albums since their debut album ‘Adrenaline’ in 1995, Deftones was originally labeled as part of the “nu metal” scene, producing the heavy metal sounds popular during that time and using such to curate a unique mix of metal and grunge that would be adored all around the world. Since the release of their third album ‘White Pony’ (2000), and especially into sixth album ‘Diamond Eyes’ (2010), the group has transitioned their sound into a dimensional, experimental rock label. This sound is complimented by lead singer Moreno’s sultry, raw, and emotional vocals that immerse the listener into an array of captivating emotions. Noted for their ability to evolve in an ever-changing world, some describe Deftones as “the Radiohead of metal” (Insing.com, 2013).
