Deftones have announced ‘private music’ and shared new single ‘my mind is a mountain’.
Fans have waited five years for a new album from the Sacramento band, and Thursday (July 10), the group announced that ‘private music’ is set to arrive on August 22 via Reprise/Warner Records. You can pre-order/pre-save here.
Previewed with lead single ‘my mind is a mountain’, the record comes co-produced by Nick Raskulinecz (Alice In Chains, Foo Fighters) – who also worked on 2010’s ‘Diamond Eyes’ and 2012’s ‘Koi No Yoka’) and was recorded across Malibu and Joshua Tree in California, as well as Nashville, Tennessee.
The same day the record drops, Deftones will kick off a leg of their North American tour dates in Vancouver, with their upcoming headline tour seeing them joined by Phantogram, IDLES and Barbarians of California on select dates.
The past two years have seen Chino Moreno and co steadily tease that a new record was on the way, marking the follow-up to 2020’s ‘Ohms’.

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.
