Their latest, Ohms (due out September 25), is their strongest work in years, a return to form that finds them reconnecting energetically with their heavy, hard-rock roots. In the years since then, Deftones have continued to put out acclaimed albums that have put them outside the metal mainstream. Around the time that many of their peers peaked on rock radio, Deftones put out 2000’s White Pony, an art-metal masterpiece that forever altered their career trajectory.
But the genre classification never fit comfortably, as Deftones drew from a much wider range of influences than just metal or hip-hop - including everything from electronic to shoegaze to classic ’80s alternative rock - and also because of their longevity. When Deftones broke out in the late ’90s, they were frequently lumped in with the era’s nu-metal acts.
