The band goes in depth in an all inclusive interview with Apple Music Host, Interviewer and DJ Zane Lowe as they dig deep into forthcoming tenth studio album “private music”. Frontman and Lead singer Chino Moreno opens the conversation mentioning, “There’s a lot of decisions that we made while making music that sometimes were hard decisions to make..cause it went against the grain – but it’s not gonna be a bad record, it’s gonna be a good record. ”
Following, Deftones released “my mind is a mountain” music video; complimenting Chino’s spellbinding vocals with immersive black and white strobe visuals and highlighting the other members: Stephen Carpenter (lead guitarist), Abe Cunningham (drummer), and Frank Delgado (keyboardist and turntablist).
