Deftones has unveiled “My Mind Is a Mountain”, a deep, emotionally driven track that serves as a preview of their upcoming album, scheduled for release in August 2025. The song captures a refined balance between introspection and heaviness, echoing the band’s iconic style with a renewed sense of control and purpose.
Built on layers of ambient textures and sharp instrumental contrasts, the track ascends gradually—led by haunting guitar work and Chino Moreno’s signature vocal dynamics. It evokes isolation, transformation, and internal struggle.
“My Mind Is a Mountain” feels both nostalgic and forward-looking. The atmosphere is reminiscent of their earlier experimental phases but channeled through a more mature lens. It doesn't erupt in chaos; instead, it unfolds with precision and emotional weight.
The band confirmed that final touches are being made to the new record. Though the album title remains under wraps, the conceptual direction reportedly explores themes of duality and emotional dissonance. Visuals tied to the release reinforce this mood: barren landscapes, abstract figures, and surreal environments.
