Deftones is an American alternative metal band formed in Sacramento, California, in 1988. They were formed by frontman Chino Moreno, lead guitarist Stephen Carpenter and drummer Abe Cunningham, with bassist Chi Cheng and keyboardist and turntablist Frank Delgado joining the lineup in 1990 and 1999, respectively. After the lineup settled in 1994, Deftones secured a recording contract with Maverick Records, and subsequently released their debut album Adrenaline in 1995.
