One of the highest anticipated albums of 2025 just had its second single drop, as the Deftones released “milk of the madonna” overnight. This latest track from their forthcoming album Private Music features an oddly brighter and potentially more radio-friendly sound compared to the lead single “my mind is a mountain”, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
There’s been a lot of focus placed on this new Deftones record, as it’s their first full-length offering since 2020’s Ohms. It’s also the band’s first release since frontman Chino Moreno managed to get himself sober following a particularly challenging time during the pandemic.
As for the hype surrounding this record, the band has been talking about making new tunes and working on a new record for a long time now. Then came the weird, yet unabashed promotional efforts that let people know new music was coming.
Private Music will be released on August 22, but you can preorder your copy today. You can also catch the band live at any of the shows listed below.
