Deftones Return With Bold New Era onPrivate Music
Hey, have you heard the big news? Deftones are officially back, and it’s not just a casual drop—they’ve announced a brand new studio album called Private Music , their first full-length in nearly five years. And let me tell you, the anticipation is real. The new record is set to drop on August 22 via Reprise/Warner, and they've already released the lead single, My Mind Is a Mountain . If you haven’t given it a listen yet, do yourself a favor—it’s classic Deftones, but with a haunting, atmospheric edge that feels both familiar and fresh.

Private Music will be their 10th studio album, following 2020’s Ohms , and it feels like a significant moment in the band’s journey. They co-produced the album alongside Nick Raskulinecz, who previously worked with them on Diamond Eyes (2010) and Koi No Yokan (2012). This time around, they recorded in Malibu, Joshua Tree, and Nashville—locations that definitely seem to have seeped into the album’s sonic palette. You can hear it in the textures of the new track—raw, expansive, and emotionally layered.
What makes this release even more exciting is the tour that’s rolling out with it. Starting August 22 in Vancouver, Deftones will hit the road across North America, sharing stages with Phantogram, Idles, and The Barbarians of California. They’ll also reunite with System of a Down for two massive shows in Toronto this September. And if you’re lucky enough to be near one of the big festivals like Shaky Knees, Louder Than Life, or Aftershock, you’ll be catching them live in those electric settings too.
The Private Music tracklist hints at a journey through deeply introspective and possibly experimental territory—with titles like Locked Club , Milk of the Madonna , Ecdysis , and Departing the Body , it sounds like we’re in for a cerebral and emotional ride. Honestly, it feels like Deftones are inviting us into a dream-state soundscape—a private world they’ve been building quietly for the last few years.
If you're a longtime fan or even just Deftones-curious, this is a moment worth tuning into. The band seems revitalized, and My Mind Is a Mountain is just the beginning of what's shaping up to be a standout release of 2025. Mark your calendar for August 22—because Deftones are making a statement, and it’s going to echo loud.
