Watch Deftones' Chino Moreno Perform Inside an Icelandic Volcano

While Deftones treated thousands of Icelandic fans to the sounds of Gore and more at this weekend's Secret Solstice festival, singer Chino Moreno also staged a uniquely intimate performance within one of the country's volcanoes.

Held within the Iceland's Thrihnukagigur crater, the event was billed by promoters as "the world's first public gig inside a volcano." According to a BBC report, entry into the volcano was 250,000 Icelandic krona (roughly $2,615 CDN). The show found Moreno playing a three-song acoustic set for 20 paying attendees, 400 feet down the shaft of Thrihnukagigur. The night began, however, with a performance from Icelandic singer Snorri Helgason.

Moreno strummed out a Morrissey song, Deftones' White Pony single "Change (In the House of Flies)" and a song from David Bowie's Blackstar release. Moreno reportedly said that he was "a little nervous" about performing.
