Deftones Release Private Music, First Album in Five Years: Stream

Deftones’ highly anticipated 10th studio album, Private Music, has arrived, five years after the release of the alt-metal act’s previous effort, Ohms.

Leading up to its release, the Sacramento band unveiled the singles “my mind is a mountain” and “milk of the madonna.” Both songs feature frontman Chino Moreno’s unmistakable soaring vocals, as well as the band’s familiar quiet-loud dynamics.
