Deftones - Private Music [Indie Exclusive, Fog Grey]

Deftones have long embodied boundary-pushing creativity, forging a singular sound that’s both ferocious and dreamlike. Over nine studio albums, they've continually refined their approach while embracing surprise and evolution. Now, decades after the groove-driven impact of their debut Adrenaline—and following landmark releases like White Pony (2000), Diamond Eyes (2010), and Ohms (2020), which earned them multiple Grammy nominations—they return with one of their most focused and fully realized works: private music.

Reuniting with producer Nick Raskulinecz, who previously helmed Diamond Eyes and Koi No Yokan (2012), the band—Chino Moreno, Stephen Carpenter, Abe Cunningham, Frank Delgado, and touring bassist Fred Sablan—delivers a lean, expertly sequenced 11-track album that sets a new standard in their discography. private music explores themes of nature’s duality, mental resilience, and metaphysical passage, merging psychedelic textures with seismic intensity. It's a powerful new chapter from a band whose legacy is defined by immersive, emotionally charged sound.
