Deftones offer side project remix
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 7 December 2010
The side-project of Deftones guitarist Steph Carpenter, Sol Invicto, has remixed the title track of his main band’s latest album, ‘Diamond Eyes’. The group are now offering the remix to fans for $0.99, with proceeds donated to One Love For Chi, the charity launched to raise money for specialist treatment for Deftones bassist Chi Cheng, who was seriously injured in a car crash two years ago.
Sol Invicto’s Richie Londres told Noisecreep: “With this ‘Diamond Eyes’ remix, we wanted to do something different but retain the feel of the song, so we ended up only using Chino’s vocals for that one and created a ‘Chino choir’ from segments of his voice to layer up the backing in different tunings … It was a huge honour [to create the remix]. So I thought a nice way to repay this would be to bring some attention to Chi Cheng. It’s been a while since the accident and he really has been making great progress. He is no longer in a coma and they are pretty confident that this specialist treatment on the East Coast can effectually wake him up!”
You can get the track from www.oneloveforchi.com. Londres added that an exclusive Sol Invicto EP, featuring drummer Zach Hill, will also be made available through the site soon.
