The band is known as one of the most experimental groups to have come from the alternative metal scene. Ĭeftones have released nine albums since their inception. After the lineup settled in 1993, the band secured a recording contract with Maverick Records, and subsequently released their debut album Adrenaline in 1995. Promoting the album by touring exhaustively with other bands in the scene, Deftones managed to gain a dedicated fan base through word of mouth. Their second album Around the Fur was released in 1997, reached chart positions along with its singles, and became the band's first to receive certification from the RIAA. The band found even further success with their third album White Pony (2000), which saw a transition away from their earlier, more aggressive sound into a more experimental direction. Its lead single ' Change (In the House of Flies)' is the band's most commercially successful single, and the track ' Elite' won a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance it was also the band's first of three albums to be certified platinum in the United States. #What deftones albums were out in 1993 download#.
