White Pony, Deftones' third studio album, came out on Maverick on June 20, 2000, with Terry Date producing for the third time running. They cut it at The Plant in Sausalito, with extra work at Larrabee in West Hollywood, and it's the record where the Sacramento band broke out of the alternative metal box they'd built. Post-hardcore, trip hop, shoegaze, prog and post-rock all seep into the heavy riffing, and the mood turns dreamy, menacing and strange.
Frank Delgado, a guest on the first two records, joined full-time on turntables and synths, and Chino Moreno began adding rhythm guitar alongside Stephen Carpenter, with Chi Cheng on bass and Abe Cunningham on drums. "Change (In the House of Flies)" and "Back to School (Mini Maggit)" were the hits, "Digital Bath" went out as a promotional single, and "Elite" won the Grammy for Best Metal Performance in 2001.
