Deftones announce new album and live show at Forest National [audio]

Deftones are back. After five years of silence, the legendary alt-metal band will release their tenth studio album Private Music on August 22.

As a first taste, they’re dropping the new single My Mind Is a Mountain today — a track that instantly proves Deftones still masterfully walk the line between dreamy melodies and raw intensity. With heavy riffs, subtle electronics, and Chino Moreno’s unmistakable vocals, the song pulls you right back into the band’s signature soundscape.
