Sol Invicto - "The Obvious Play" “Sol Invicto, the near-mythic project co-founded by Deftones guitar master Stephen Carpenter, guitarist/producer Richie Londres and Cypress Hill percussion wizard Eric Bobo, is finally going public. After existing in the shadows for more than a dozen years, and issuing a private-press demos collection to their members-only “Sol Invicto Comiti” in 2017, the arrival of the punishing “The Obvious Play” to streamers this week was a major revelation for the most of us. It’s a heavy swinger, with Carpenter’s detuned-and-doomy compound-judding rattling the speakers amid fractured pulses of electronic percussion and Plague To Pyres vocalist Sean Plague’s savage screaming session. Sol Invicto have done anything but the obvious play thus far, so we’re excitedly awaiting what else is in store via their upcoming Loosely Aware EP.” Revolver 2024
