Sol Invicto

Sol Invicto is an underground cinematic electronic metal group formed by Richie Londres & Stephen Carpenter of Deftones. The group are totally independent and send all music directly to fans via their private mailing list "The Sol Invicto Comiti". In recent years drum & bass producer Technical Itch joined the project.

Music

Sol Invicto is mainly an instrumental project which mixes Richies atmospheric soundscapes with Carpenters signature melodic heavy riffs.

As of 2014 Richie brought in UK drum & bass producer Mark Caro (Tech Itch) to co-produce Initium III with him. Richie informed fans (via mailing list) that Sol Invicto will have two sounds in 2015, one more electronic driven for DJ sets & one more metal driven for live shows.

History

Early years: Unidose, Carrion & Tech N9ne (2006–2009)

The project came together after Carpenter recorded guitars for Londres in 2006, the group released the tracks Unidose & Carrion in 2007 as well as bootleg remixes of Saul Williams & Tech N9ne tracks in 2008/09. The tracks were well received so it was decided to make the project official, Sol Invicto was formed and they began working on material.
