Private Music Cassette Tape

Deftones – private music
Maxi-Cassette – 2025

Deftones have always defined boundless creativity in the music space. Across nine studio albums, they’ve carved out an unmistakable sonic identity—ferocious yet dreamlike—continually refining and reinventing their sound. Now, decades after their groundbreaking debut Adrenaline, and following acclaimed records like White Pony, Diamond Eyes, and Ohms, the band returns with one of the most focused and fully realized projects of their career: private music.

Reuniting with producer Nick Raskulinecz (who also helmed Diamond Eyes and Koi No Yokan), Deftones—Chino Moreno, Stephen Carpenter, Abe Cunningham, Frank Delgado, and touring bassist Fred Sablan—deliver a masterfully paced 11-song set that explores themes of nature, mindset, and transcendence. Both a psychedelic voyage and a thunderous gut punch, private music is a new benchmark in the band's celebrated discography.
