Knife Prty is the seventh track of Deftones' third studio album, White Pony. The song features vocals from female singer Rodleen Getsic

The opening chords for Knife Prty lead into a distorted introduction with a moving bass line and a vocal bridge sung by Getsic in Spanish-Arabic style

says one critic.

Chino Moreno, the frontman of Deftones, had this to say:

It’s a seductive song with a lot of violent imagery. People don’t tend to like sex mixed with violence. The mid section has amazing vocals from a girl called Rodleen who worked next door to our studio

The inspiration for this song was a strange party on the band’s tour bus once, where a everyone had a knife from Abe’s knife collection and was dancing around the bus with them. Chino then created an imaginary scenario from it about a secret knife society.

I made up this fake scenario of some kind of underworld society of knives, people who just get off on these erotic fantasies…or something like that. An ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ kind of thing

Chino says.

Symbolically speaking, it is an intimate story where a man (in this case, Chino) and a woman build their attraction. They either get high off of each other’s aurora, or with the use of drugs.

They both climax (potentially in different ways), and Chino is left wanting more.
