Deftones' Chino Moreno unleashes remix of The Cure's "Warsong"
Briefly

Chino Moreno of Deftones has released a remix of The Cure's track "Warsong" ahead of the album 'Remixes of a Lost World', set to launch on June 13th. This album includes various remixes of tracks from The Cure's latest album 'Songs of a Lost World', featuring artists like Mogwai and Orbital. In creating his remix, Moreno aimed to strip down the track’s organic elements in favor of mechanical sounds while keeping the song's inherent beauty. Deftones recently completed a tour and are preparing for upcoming shows, including with System of a Down.
Chino Moreno stated, 'I chose 'Warsong' to remix as it's one of those slow-building, brooding musical pieces that have always drawn me into The Cure's music.'
Moreno elaborated, 'My idea with this remix was to strip it back slightly of its organic instrumentation and bring in ridged, mechanical percussion and some down-pitched vocals aimed to bring forth the cold/dystopic feel of the song while maintaining the core beauty of what existed.'
