Song to benefit Deftones bassist

Alternative Press - Laila Hanson on 5/20/09 @ 9:42 AM - altpress.com

In times of tragedy, friends come together. This has been proven true recently, as Korn members (and ex-members) Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu, Ray Luzier and Brian "Head" Welch have joined forces with Sevendust's Clint Lowery and Slipknot's Jim Root to record an insturmental song to benefit Deftones bassist Chi Cheng, who was recently in a car accident.

According to Cheng's brother, the bassist's insurance company has recently stopped paying for his treatments. A video of Arvizu discussing the collaboration can be seen below.
