ALBUM REVIEW: Deftones – private music

Posted on by

Five years can seem like an eternity if one is a big enough fan of a band, and waiting half a decade for new music from Deftones has certainly had fans chomping at the bit. Deftones’ 2020 album Ohms (Reprise Records, review here) took on a heavy and reflective tone that mirrored the emotional distress of the pandemic and lockdown. Now, Deftones followers can rejoice, as the band have emerged with private music (via Reprise and Warner Records), with eleven tracks of silver lining to what’s been a tense 2025. Co-produced and recorded in California and Nashville with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Korn, Alice In Chains, Mastodon), who worked on 2010’s Diamond Eyes and 2012’s Koi No Yokan (both also Reprise/Warner).Continue reading →

Great American Ghost Share a Single and Video for Cover of Deftones’ “Hole In The Earth”

Posted on by

New Hampshire quartet Great American Ghost — Ethan Harrison [vocals], Niko Gasparrini [guitar], Grayson Stewart [guitar], and Anthony Laur [bass] — have unleashed their cover of Deftones’ classic “Hole in the Earth” from 2006’s Saturday Night Wrist. On the surface, it’s an unexpected pivot for the unapologetically political foursome. But a deeper dive into the subject matter reveals it’s not as much of a surprising choice as it seems. Ultimately, Great American Ghost deliver an absolutely stunning rendition of a Deftones’ fan favorite by adding a post-hardcore kinetic energy to the choppy, chunky riffing and emotional heft of the original. Watch the video here.Continue reading →
