Deftones formed in 1988 in Sacramento, California. Their first commercially released album was Adrenaline, in 1995. It peaked at number 23 in the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart, its success attributable to word-of-mouth and rigorous touring and live performance. 1997's Around the Fur was far more successful, peaking at number one on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart, and at number 29 on the Billboard 200. It was also their first international success, entering the UK Albums Chart at number 56. The album provided their first ever charting singles, "My Own Summer " and "Be Quiet and Drive ". White Pony was released in 2000 to critical acclaim and unprecedented commercial success, peaking at number three in the US. Singles "Change " and "Digital Bath" supported the album's release. A single entitled "Back to School " was released as a rap-influenced reinterpretation of White Pony's closing track, "Pink Maggit", and was provided for free to owners of White Pony due to its original release on Enhanced CD media. White Pony was subsequently re-released with "Back to School " as the album's opening track.
The eponymous Deftones was released in 2003, peaking at number two in the US, and garnering widespread international success. B-Sides & Rarities saw a release in 2005, bringing together unreleased and obscure material accrued since 1995. 2006's Saturday Night Wrist, completed after a protracted and tumultuous recording process, reached number ten in the US. "Hole in the Earth" peaked at number 18 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart, while "Mein" only reached number 40 on the Mainstream Rock chart. The band's sixth album, Diamond Eyes, was released on May 4, 2010. It saw the release of the popular singles "Rocket Skates", "You've Seen the Butcher" and "Diamond Eyes". In November 2012, Deftones released their seventh studio album titled Koi No Yokan, which spawned the singles "Leathers", "Tempest", "Swerve City" and "Romantic Dreams". Their eighth studio album, Gore, was released on April 8, 2016, and spawned the singles "Prayers / Triangles", "Doomed User", and "Hearts / Wires". Ohms, Deftones' ninth album, was released in 2020 with the eponymous single "Ohms" and the single "Genesis". On August 22, 2025, Deftones released their tenth album titled Private Music, with "My Mind Is a Mountain" and "Milk of the Madonna" released as singles.
