Milk of the Madonna
Milk of the Madonna, stylized in all lowercase as milk of the madonna, is a single by American alternative metal band Deftones. It was released on August 7, 2025, as the second single from their tenth studio album, Private Music. The song was recorded during 2024–2025 in California and Nashville with producer Nick Raskulinecz, who has also worked with the band on Diamond Eyes and Koi No Yokan. It follows the lead single My Mind Is a Mountain and arrived without any prior announcement. The title uses spiritual and surreal imagery and is seen by some as a metaphor for divine nourishment or spiritual fervor. Stereogum called it “a churning maelstrom about being lost in religious ecstasy.” An official audio video appeared on YouTube on release day, and by December 2025 it had over one million views; a full music video has not been released.
