Deftones released their 10th studio album ‘Private Music’ last summer, which NME awarded the full five stars and said: “Very much a whole journey through a full-bodied and expansive fever dream, but this time somehow spiritual, intimate and direct, Deftones’ 10th album is a gift for fans old, new, and certainly finding them in the very distant future. Their peers can’t touch them.”
It was later named as one of NME’s albums of 2025, while its epic single ‘Milk Of The Madonna’ also made our Top 50 Songs of 2025 list.
Speaking to NME last summer, frontman Chino Moreno said Deftones’ music had always been vulnerable, pointing back to ‘Mascara’ on ‘Around The Fur’ as proof. He also admitted that his confidence to lay himself out in a love song had grown.
