REVIEWS:

"Aaron continues to write the bizzarro alternate universe of Hellvetika. This time, paying tribute to Deftones. Aaron’s perspective shows the bones of their songs as the foundation that Deftones’ dynamics and memorable melodies are built on. Listen with fresh ears, as parts will wander away from the familiar tracks, but listen closely and you’ll hear the string that connects the originals to this signature sounding covers."
—Jason Soejoto

"That the Deftones translate so well into sludge shouldn't be a complete surprise and yet song after song, Hellvetika has refashioned the notably un-sludge originals into monoliths. See the now insistent, thudding chorus of 'Swerve City' or the quiet/loud dynamics on 'Digital Bath' which features verses that are equally melancholy and unnerving as Aaron Edge's vocals sear through the stillness. There's a new, different life to the songs - not simply the result of slowing down Deftones for the sake of slowing them down. The DNA is still there, what makes those songs work to begin with, but they've been mutated and warped into a new, lumbering monsters."
—Mute Neighbor

“When Aaron asked me to send him my favorite song from each Deftones record with a short description of why, I was intrigued and I did as he asked. He then created one of his amazing Hellvetika records for using my selections and it came out crushingly awesome! Aaron has a way with tone and ambiance that few people possess. Recreating music from a band with so much feel and mood is no easy task. He harnessed that and then some in this slow, heavy and beautiful reimagining of my favorite tracks from these legends. This is a great record and a special gift from my friend.”
—Dewey Halpaus

“Of the many terrific Hellvetika Redux releases, the idea of a Deftones record was the most intriguing to me. Taking an already heavy band and slowing it down to the crushing depths of the other Hellvetika 'Redux' releases requires a bit more finesse with the Deftones as it’s not just familiar songs under a new filter. Heavy music always hits differently - so distinguishing between two styles of heavy music from opposite ends of that spectrum allows you to appreciate the writing in a completely new light. As always, Aaron’s unique spin on them finds a new audience for these songs with more time to absorb them in full.”
—Chase Middaugh

"Hellvetika returns with another stellar covers album. This particular collection of cover songs is long overdue in my opinion. This time, multi instrumentalist Aaron Edge tackles the genre bending spectrum of the Deftones. This is more than just slowed down versions of the band's classics. Hellvetika Approaches each track with unique creativity. Adding Jesu and Eyehategod heaviness to essential and deep cuts alike. If you’re a sludge/doom fan... or even a casual Deftones fan check this out! Standout track: 'Rocket Skates'."
—Garrett Gonzales

"One time we played the Holy Diver in Sacramento which is owned by The Deftones guys. After the show the guitarist kept giving me shots of whiskey and I didn’t know what to do with all of them. Then I puked later. Good job on this Aaron."
—Nate Newton

Album: Adrenaline / Track: Bored
"This was the first Deftones song I heard. Immediately made my dad buy the record at Sam Goody in Bellevue on vacation. Also made him buy me a windbreaker to look like Chino."

Album: Around the Fur / Track: Be Quiet and Drive
"I would skip to this song through all others when I played Matt Hoffman’s BMX video game. It soothes me to this day. It takes me back to my first apartment with the band in Alaska."

Album: White Pony / Track: Digital Bath
"My friends and I used to drive around town in a conversion van listening to this track wondering how Chino hit that high note. The imagery in this song is unmatched. We all tried to rip this song off."

Album: Deftones S/T / Track: Needles and Pins
"This record got a bad wrap from critics. The guitar tone in this song feels actually visceral. The drums are incredibly tight. "

Album: Saturday Night Wrist / Track: Kimdracula
"This Song makes me imagine myself upon stage singing it every time I hear it. It transports me to a happy place. It reminds me of hours spent traveling on public transit in PDX with headphones on."

Album: Diamond Eyes / Track: Rocket Skates
"This song reminds me of the road. Long hours in the van and late nights. I loved listening to this record and track on flights."

Album: Koi No Yokan / Track: Swerve City
"The groove is unreal. This track moves my whole body. An incredible beginning to an incredible record."

Album: Gore / Track: Phantom Bride
"I used this track as the intro to the episode I did with Chino. The vibe of this song is so creamy and incredible. The Jerry Cantrell solo in this song is fucking gold."

Album: Ohms / Track: Ceremony
"Chino and I were laughing about how much press picks apart everything he says or hints. I heard this right after the second single Genesis came out and it rips. This song reminds me of so many beautiful and sad moments."
