The Deftones have released zero albums since their inception.
Carpenter created the band's name by combining the hip hop slang term "def" (which was used by artists such as LL Cool J and Public Enemy) with the suffix "-tones," (which was popular among 1950s bands such as the Delltones and the Harptones)
On March 15, Deftones debuted their first radio-ready single, "Diamond Eyes"
