The 10th Deftones studio album.

The only legit info we have is:

April 2024 Chino said they have a whole album recorded, and he needed to record vocals. He emphasised they weren't in a rush.

May 2024 Chino was photographed in the studio with the producer.

December 2024 Chino's wife said Chino was working on "important album business".

I'm sort of speechless at the fact they are still making music at this point. It's been what, 35+ years since Stephen Carpenter put this band together and they're still at it doing something that once felt right to them. Not saying that I was pleased with the way they did things over time but maybe the fact they're not saying anything is good (for them)

Their silence does add to the mystique, even if its often maddening.

I recall most of their album tracklists usually being revealed in advance by the press, but it would be really unique if the opposite happened. Imagine them just giving us some cryptic teasers and a single, but no tracklist reveal until the album drops. I think that type of rollout would really fit this new Gen Z-influenced social media era we live in.

A cryptic teaser and a single would be cool.
Nowadays we got 3 to 5 singles drop before the album release but I dont see them doing that.
