Deftones' Chino Moreno shares ‘cold, dystopic' remix of The Cure's ‘Warsong'
Deftones leader Chino Moreno has shared his own version of The Cure's 'Warsong', offering his own 'cold, dystopic' take on the track. The cover arrives as part of the remix record of The Cure's Songs of a Lost World, which arrived last year to huge acclaim. It's called Mixes of a Lost World and also features Four Tet's remix of the band's 'Alone', as well as offerings from the likes of Mogwai, Mura Masa and Paul Oakenfold. Now, Chino Moreno's new offering is the latest to arrive. While not too dissimilar from the original, it offers a more uncompromising take on the song. '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 said. '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.' Chino Moreno and Robert Smith previously joined forces when Smith shared his remix of 'Teenager' in 2020 for Deftones' White Pony remix album. In a statement, Smith previously said that the remix project began just after Christmas when he received 'a couple of unsolicited remixes' and 'really loved them.' He continued: 'The Cure has a colourful history with all kinds of dance music, and I was curious as to how the whole album would sound entirely reinterpreted by others. This curiosity resulted in a fabulous trip through all eight songs by 24 wonderful artists and remixers and is way beyond anything I could have hoped for.' Mixes of a Lost World will be released as a three-CD or vinyl LP deluxe edition, while a standard two-CD or vinyl LP edition will also be available. (A full track list for the deluxe edition is below.) The album is available to pre-order now, and the Cure will donate all of their recording royalties from the project to War Child UK — a cause that, Smith said, made Mixes 'an even more special release.'

Meanwhile, Bocelli met the pope after performing with the Voices of Haiti children's choir in August 2017. The Italian tenor took to social media to honor Francis' legacy after the news of his death. 'Beyond the profound sorrow of an absence that weighs upon us—and will continue to do so, leaving us all in a more silent solitude—what we feel for him is a gratitude of the deepest and most enduring kind,' Bocelli wrote Monday. 'Since its inception, the Andrea Bocelli Foundation has found in Pope Francis a guiding star, illuminating our path. From the very first audience in 2013, we humbly laid before him our intentions, and his words comforted and urged us forward.'
