American alternative metal band formed in Sacramento, California in 1988 by vocalist Chino Moreno, guitarist Stephen Carpenter, bassist Chi Cheng, and drummer Abe Cunningham. Frank Delgado joined as turntablist/keyboardist in 1999. Often associated with the late-1990s nu-metal wave but typically distinguished by atmospheric arrangements and Moreno's range across screaming and melodic vocals.

Cheng was injured in a 2008 car accident, fell into a coma, and died in 2013. Sergio Vega filled in until 2021; Fred Sablan currently handles bass duties. Ten studio albums including White Pony (2000), Diamond Eyes (2010), and Ohms (2020). Continuously active.
