The group's original bassist was Chi Cheng, who became comatose following a 2008 car accident and died in 2013. Deftones have released seven albums to date, with three Platinum (Adrenaline, Around the Fur, White Pony) and one Gold certification (for Deftones)copyright infringement, despite the track having been uploaded by Chino.
Musical style and influences
Although initially rooted in heavy metal, Deftones have always claimed diverse influences, with their musical style diversifying over their career. Their sound has been described as alternative metal, art rock, experimental rock, nu metal, post-punk, post-hardcore drone progressive rock and progressive metal shoegaze, post-rock, metalgaze or post-metal,dream pop trip hop, psychedelic rockand rap metal
Originally, the band started off as being associated with and labeled under the "nu metal" movement. However, following the release of their third album, White Pony, they were widely acknowledged by many critics to have transcended the "nu-metal" label, eventually classified as having an alternative metal, post-metal, and experimental rock sound.
Critic Johnny Loftus writes, "Rock critics usually reserve a special place for Deftones above or at least away from the rest of the turn-of-the-century metal movement [....] Deftones have always seemed more curious, more willing to incorporate traditionally revered sounds like D.C. hardcore and dream pop into their Northern California alt-metal.
Moreno's lyrics were described by Time magazine as "suggesting emotions rather than announcing them.Chino Moreno himself has described his lyrics as ambiguous and sometimes impersonal, saying: "I like to be ambiguous when writing to a certain extent, and throwing something so brash [as Chi's accident] against that and playing with it. And also making it sound dimensional. Giving the feeling off that it is raw and it is emotional, but it's not just connected with our personal story. It's not merely about our career and our lives, it's bigger than that. When I hear the music, I get inspired to paint the lyrical pictures you describe, but I'm not always talking about myself. The band's legacy has been compared to alternative rock group Radiohead, with some dubbing Deftones "The Radiohead of metal".
