Multi-platinum GRAMMY® Award-winning Sacramento band Deftones will release their anxiously awaited 10th full-length studio album, private music, on August 22, 2025 via Reprise/Warner Records. Pre-order/Pre-save HERE. To herald its arrival, the group also just shared a new single entitled “my mind is a mountain“ available HERE —and sat down with Zane Lowe on his Apple Music Radio show. 

Members Chino Moreno, Stephen Carpenter, Abe Cunningham, and Frank Delgado joined Lowe at the iconic Canter’s Deli in Hollywood where the musicians spoke extensively about the creation of private music, shared memories, and discussed what the future holds.

Now, they’ve officially begun their next chapter. Deftones notably recorded and co-produced private music in various locations in California including Malibu and Joshua Tree as well as Nashville, Tennessee with GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Nick Raskulinecz. It marks their third collaboration with Raskulinecz who had previously helmed Diamond Eyes [2010] and Koi No Yokan [2012]. 

private music once again sees the band pushing creative boundaries as only they can.

Check out the full tracklisting below.

In other news, Deftones have just received several new RIAA certifications, recognizing recent sales milestones. White Pony is now RIAA certified 2x-Platinum, Diamond Eyes is RIAA certified Platinum and notable singles “Change (In The House of Flies)” is RIAA Certified 4x-Platinum and “Be Quiet and Drive” is RIAA Certified 2x-Platinum. 

Earlier this year, Deftones launched their first North American headline tour since 2022 produced by Live Nation, and it proved to be their most significant and successful yet.

Deftones saw 100% sellout business of an extensive arena run, including legendary venues such as Madison Square Garden in New York, TD Garden in Boston, and even a two-night stand at Kia Forum in Los Angeles. Of the latter, Los Angeles Times raved, “Deftones have never been bigger, or more definitional for what young people want out of heavy music in all its gradients. A band ahead of their time for 30 years and counting.” 

The next round of dates commences on August 22nd at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, BC and continues in arenas across Canada and the United States, including Rocket Arena in Cleveland, OH on September 10th and Ball Arena in Denver, CO on September 15th. This second leg comes to a close on September 17th at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, MO.

Deftones welcome Phantogram and IDLES as direct support on select dates. The Barbarians of California will open for all dates. Remaining tickets are available HERE.

private music is here on August 22.
