It’s taken five years for a new Deftones album to come — and it’s finally here. On Thursday, the group announced that it will release its album, private music, on Aug. 22 via Reprise and Warner Records. Deftones also released the single “my mind Is a mountain.”

The artwork for Deftones’ upcoming album features a bright green background with a white snake slithering over it. The group also shared the 11-song track list for Private Music, which includes songs such as “souvenir,” “cut hands,” “metal Dream,” and “departing the body.”
