“X.VII.MMXXV” is the Roman numeral on the minds of metal fans, as Deftones have begun to tease something called "Private Music" at their most recent show. At their gig at London's Crystal Palace on Sunday, June 29th, the graphic below was displayed to fans:
While American fans are taking this to mean 10/7 (October 7th), it should be known that with this gig being in London, they would be using the European date format, making it 7/10, which is one week from Thursday at time of publication. That said, with three of their studio albums and their B-Sides and Rarities compilation all having released in October, the original theory isn't completely unfounded.
In any case, time will tell what this brings, the significance of the Mercedes-Benz-like logo on that graphic, and what the California alt-metal titans will bring. The band will be spending their summer touring in Europe before a handful of dates stateside, including Aftershock Festival in October.
