Deftones - Private Music (Limited Fog Grey Vinyl LP, Alternate Cover)

Crushing weight and dreamlike space have always been Deftones' strongest combination. Private Music leans into that tension, placing Chino Moreno's intimate vocals against dense guitars and atmospheric textures. Led by “My Mind Is a Mountain” and “Milk of the Madonna”, it brings the band's heavy and hazy instincts together without reducing either to background detail.

Formed in Sacramento in 1988, Deftones built their following through the raw intensity of Adrenaline and Around the Fur, before White Pony pushed their sound into more expansive, experimental territory. Rather than staying inside the boundaries of the metal scene that first embraced them, they developed a distinctive balance of aggression, melody and atmosphere. Released on 22 August 2025, Private Music is their tenth studio album and first since Ohms. It reunites them with Nick Raskulinecz, the producer behind Diamond Eyes and Koi No Yokan, and is their first album to feature bassist Fred Sablan.
