Private Music is the tenth studio album by Deftones. It was released on August 22, 2025, through Reprise and Warner Records. It was preceded by two singles, “My Mind Is a Mountain” and “Milk of the Madonna“. The album was produced by Nick Raskulinecz, who previously worked on the band’s albums Diamond Eyes (2010) and Koi No Yokan (2012).
In addition to group members Stephen Carpenter, Abe Cunningham, Frank Delgado and Chino Moreno, Deftones‘ touring bassist Fred Sablan appears on the album, making it the first since former bassist Sergio Vega‘s departure in 2021.
