DEFTONES’ New Song “Milk Of The Madonna” Is A Stone Cold Banger

Deftones is now streaming what very well may be one of my favorite songs they’ve ever written, “Milk Of The Madonna”. This sounds like something from Saturday Night Wrist written for Koi No Yokan and I am absolutely here for it. If I wasn’t already excited about Deftones‘ upcoming record Private Music – due out August 22 – then I sure as hell am now.

Joining Deftones‘ core lineup – Chino Moreno, Stephen Carpenter, Abe Cunningham, and Frank Delgado – is touring bassist Fred Sablan, who appears on the album. The record also reunites the band with producer Nick Raskulinecz, whose work on 2010’s Diamond Eyes and 2012’s Koi No Yokan helped define one of the group’s most critically acclaimed creative eras. Private Music is:

1. “My Mind Is a Mountain”
2. “Locked Club”
3. “Ecdysis”
4. “Infinite Source”
5. “Souvenir”
6. “CXZ”
7. “I Think About You All the Time”
8. “Milk of the Madonna”
9. “Cut Hands”
10. “Metal Dream”
11. “Departing the Body”
