Alternative metal pioneers Deftones are set to release their tenth studio album Private Music on August 22, 2025. Produced by Nick Raskulinecz – the force behind Diamond Eyes and Koi No Yokan – the album promises a return to the expansive and emotionally charged sound that made the band a genre-defying staple.

The first single, My Mind Is a Mountain, is already out, clocking in at under three minutes but carrying all the intensity and mood Deftones are known for.

Private Music also marks a turning point in the band’s history: it’s their first album without bassist Sergio Vega since 2006’s Saturday Night Wrist, and their first full-length since 2020’s Ohms — the longest gap between albums in the band’s career.
