Get Deftones Tickets Here Now, Moreno's mix of 'Warsong' has been released, with the Deftones frontman stating, '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.' He added, '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.' Remixes by Moreno ('Warchild'), Mogwai ('Endsong'), and 65daysofstatic ('All I Ever Am') only appear on the 3LP or 3CD deluxe editions of Mixes of a Lost World. Remixes by Four Tet ('Alone'), Paul Oakenfold ('I Can Never Say Goodbye'), Orbital ('Endsong'), and others appear on the standard 2LP or 2CD editions, as well as the deluxe versions. Pre-orders are available here. Deftones recently completed a winter/spring North American tour with The Mars Volta, and will embark on a late summer leg with Phantogram and IDLES on select dates beginning August 22nd in Vancouver (pick up tickets here). Amidst that run, Deftones will play two stadium shows with System of a Down in Toronto on September 3rd and 5th. Listen to Chino Moreno's remix of The Cure's 'Warsong' below.

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.'

Massive new Hades 2 update finally adds a brutal final boss and, more importantly, a new pet sidekick
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Hades 2: The Warsong update has been revealed, and it adds a final boss to the last level even though the game's still in Early Access. The roguelike sequel first launched in Early Access last May, and as of yet there's no release date for its 1.0 update, but that's not stopping developer Supergiant from dropping some, well, giant updates. There have been a handful of smaller patches with balancing changes and bug fixes, but Warsong is only the second "Major Update" we've seen, and it's pretty major indeed. You can get the full patch notes here, but the biggest highlight is definitely the addition of "the final confrontation on the surface," so basically, the Hades 2 equivalent of the Hades boss fight in the first game. While that's technically the main draw here, all of us real ones know that it's the addition of a brand new pet sidekick, or as they're known in Hades 2, the Animal Familiar. Melinoe's new furry companion is the fifth to be added in Early Access, and the li'l guy is called Gale the Polecat. For the unaware, let me bless your timeline real quick. Polecats are in the same family as weasels, badgers, and otters, except they're way cuter than any of those combined. Just look at this little stinker! Anywho, the other Big Thing is Ares, the original God of War Hades fans have been missing since the first game. Ares was popular for his powerful boons and powerful jawline, and now Hades 2 players can benefit from his unique blessings at long last. Elsewhere, Warsong tidies up some menu screens and adds new and reworked art to the Altar of Ashes, as well as over 2,000 new voice lines, what seems to be a singing minigame at the Crossroads, and a whole lot of Boon reworks. Warsong is available as a free Hades 2 update now, and Supergiant already has plans for a third Major Update, which should be releasing "some months from now." In the meantime, see where the original Hades lands in our best roguelike games list. Spoilers: it's high.
