Tracing Deftones and their music career

The American alternative metal band was formed in 1988 as a collaboration between Stephen Carpenter, Abe Cunningham, and Chino Moreno, soon followed by Dominic Garcia and Chi Cheng.

The band had their first chart breakthrough with their second studio album, Around the Fur, which was released on October 28, 1997. It peaked at number 29 on the Billboard 200 album chart and was moderately successful in sales, eventually garnering a platinum sales certification with the RIAA.

Following the success of their second studio album, the band released their third studio album, White Pony, on June 20, 2000. The album was their first major international chart success, peaking at number 2 on the Australian album chart as well as at number 6 on the French album chart. It even earned several gold sales certifications and another platinum certification.

The band had their last major success with their eponymously titled fourth studio album, Deftones, which was released on May 20, 2003. The album was a chart-topper on the Canadian album chart and also peaked at number 2 on the Billboard 200 album chart. Ohms, Deftones' ninth album, was released in 2020, along with the singles Ohms and Genesis.
