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 line-up in 1990 and 1999, respectively.

Shortly before the album's release, Deftones launched the "Adopt a Dot" campaign, allowing for people to purchase one of the dots on the artwork as their own. A photo of the purchaser would then appear as the dot they purchased and be a part of the "Ohms Adopt a Dot digital experience" viewable online.
Moreno was born in Sacramento, California, the second of five children.His mother is of Mexican and Chinese descent and his father is Mexican. [5] The nickname "Chino" is the Spanish-language term for Chinese people, a moniker "given to him as a kid by his uncles because he looked predominantly Asian, when most Mexicans are mestizo."
