Sacramento, United States (1988 – present)
Deftones (stylized as deftones) is an American rock band from Sacramento, California formed in 1988, consisting of Chino Moreno (lead vocals and guitar), Stephen Carpenter (guitar), Chi Cheng (bass), Frank Delgado (keyboards and turntables), and Abe Cunningham (drums and percussion). Their sound has been described as ranging from alternative metal, dream pop and nu metal, to progressive rock and art rock.
Critics have often praised them as one of the closest to unique rock bands of recent years for their innovative, atmospheric music; as Johnny Loftus writes, “Rock critics usually reserve a special place for Deftones above or at least away from the rest of the turn-of-the-century metal movement […] Deftones have always seemed more curious, more willing to incorporate traditionally revered sounds like dream pop into their Northern California alt-metal.”
Frontman Chino Moreno’s poetic lyrics—described by a Time magazine critic as “fiercely intelligent”—are often evocative, yet are sparse enough to allow for multiple interpretations. Moreno has cited Morrissey, Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo, The Cure’s Robert Smith, and Depeche Mode’s David Gahan among his favorite singers, and beyond an occasional similarity in vocal technique, these singers’ sweeping sense of drama and delicate vulnerability is often evident in Moreno’s vocals and has often been likened to that of Daryl Palumbo(glassjaw).

tool and a perfect circle are kinda similar to deftones, tool being a bit more... uhh, avant garde i guess. but i can see how deftones fans would like some of those bands. and especially Chevelle, since they are the ultimate deftones rip off band ever.

actually. the similar artists are calculated from what the listeners are listening to. So those similar artists are what the majority of fans are listening to, based off their libraries on last fm..

because they have to put something there because that's the program, and since NO ONE sounds like the deftones it's bands that are related to them relationship wise and bullshit "genre" connection (deftones have no genre, they are deftones but they get classified with nu-metal and alternative and all that crap)
