Deftones - Private Music (August 22nd, 2025) Album • Page 32

Hmmm there has been a very faint whisper of a rumour recently — but from someone whom I'd trust — that there is something coming out around the release of the album that had caused the album to be delayed by a few months.

 

Infinite Source rules. The whole record does, really.

 

Just checked this out, apparently a lot of the hints are in Infinite Source? Some people are taking it to mean they're breaking up which god I hope not.

 

i'm gonna assume it's probably a companion film (given the video tease from earlier). i'm doubtful it's an additional music release.

 

They're not breaking up and it's not Eros. I'm not even considering those. A second album would be really cool but that's not really the sort of thing they would do.

Some kind of film/documentary is my guess, but that's mainly from dismissing other options.

Edit: What @Michael Belt said

 

It would absolutely baffle me if the band decided to call it quits now even if Infinite Source reads like a final bow (and apparently hints at what's to come). Then again, they're in their fifties and aren't getting any younger. But still, I've also read some interpretations of that song have to do with Chino's sobriety. I don't know what's going on.

 

I'm just going to assume the privatemusic.tv thing is a pre-recorded Private Music live performance of the album. Would be perfect to present the new album in that fashion before going on their second leg of touring. Speculation aside, tonight's all about PM and my favorite band. I'm just happy we get new music at all and don't want to take any of this for granted.

 

I haven't heard the song but Infinite Source is apparently about Chino's wife, which tracks

 

The lyrics definitely read that way.

 

I'll talk a deluxe edition with a bunch of B-sides and covers. Or just Finger of Death recorded properly.

 

BSAR for this album specifically, good idea.

 

That's what I think too but read a certain way I can see why people would get retirement from those lyrics.

Even though I already listened to the album I still can't wait!

 

Why the fuck would they break up when they are arguably the biggest they’ve ever been? Lmao

 

Maybe they are big fans of Josh Scogin.

 

Bonafide arena band status 30 years in just to bask in it for one album cycle and then pack it in, obv /s

 

I remember watching that livestream like it was yesterday... the quality was sooooo bad haha

 

They should livestream it on a Nintendo DS

 

I’ve been at a work outing at a Cubs game all day and pounding beers. This livestream is going to HIT tonight.

 

This may answer some questions

If what I'm seeing on reddit holds, it looks like we're in for a career-spanning doc.

 

That would be tight

 

It looks like it’s set up so there’s three channels you can switch between

It’s interesting because CH 3 looks like it’s just songs from other artists? It lists In Like Flynn which is a Girls Against Boys songs. There’s also Quote Unquote which is a Mr. Bungle song too

 

Just finished my first listen. I think enhancing the experience through vintage windows media player vizualizations and half-asleep must've helped because a recurring thought was "is this their trippiest/shoegaziest album ever!?"

So much to say, I'll give it second listen when I wake up.

 

ALBUM OUT RAHHHHH

WE BACK

 

Wow, I actually received a pre-order BEFORE release!

Layout, packaging, booklet… it’s all perfect. If you have a copy coming, you’ll be thrilled with it.
