Deftones have begun teasing their upcoming album titled “Private Music”, dropping cryptic visuals and riddles hinting at an announcement on July 10 in Europe. The band is building intrigue ahead of a potential single or video reveal before the official release.
Recording started in February with producer Nick Raskulinecz, known for his work on Diamond Eyes and Koi No Yokan. Band members say they’re in a prolific creative phase, aiming to balance their signature atmospheric heft with aggressive intensity.
Drummer Abe Cunningham has shared an acoustic preview that hints at powerful, layered soundscapes. Revolver Magazine's clue featuring “X.VII.MMXXV” (July 10, 2025) adds to the buildup around “Private Music.”
The album is expected to drop between spring and summer 2026, reinforcing Deftones’ position as a leading force in alternative metal. An intense promo rollout is likely, with pre-release material setting the tone for the new era.
