The record sees the band "continuing to push sonic and emotional boundaries,” the official description reads. “With the group’s unmistakable blend of heaviness and atmosphere, private music promises to be a landmark release in a career defined by fearless innovation.”

Formed in 1988, the Sacramento band have delivered a succession of seminal releases, sold over 10 million records globally, and gathered over 10 billion-plus streams. Their catalog includes the 2000’s 2X-Platinum White Pony—which earned the group’s first Grammy—as well as the Platinum-certified Diamond Eyes (2010), Koi No Yokan (2012), and Ohms (2020).
