The eponymous album by Mike Patton and various collaborators was released via Ipecac Recordings on May 30th 2006. In the early 2000's, after both Faith No More and Mr. Bungle had parted ways, Patton spread his musical wings and delivered various very different projects. His focus was on the disturbing, complex, brutal music of Fantômas. Yet it would seem that there was a need for the man of a thousand voices to manipulate the whole music spectrum and satisfy his lighter side

Thirty four years ago Faith No More released their first single from Angel Dust. The worldwide release of Midlife Crisis was Tuesday 26 May 1992. In an article on Consequence Of Sound ranking all Faith No More songs from worst to best, Midlife Crisis took the number one spot.

On May 24th 2011 Bill Gould released the album The Talking Book via Koolarrow Records. 'The atmosphere that haunts the world of The Talking Book is as palpable as the dust that clogs the grooves of the grainy, crackling vinyl that Bill Gould & Jared Blum have mined for this, their first collaborative work. The Talking Book has the melancholy, sepia-toned feel of a faded old photograph found in a strangers house, full of old ghosts, almost-forgotten memories and a real sense o

It gives me all those things I need that make me feel good." - Bill Gould 2016 1997 was a bit of a dull year for rock and metal music, it was the beginning of

Primus’ second studio album Sailing The Seas of Cheese was released on 14 May 1991. Primus and Faith No More’s history has been intertwined throughout the years so we have detailed some of their connections. Apart from Mike Patton sporting a Frizzle Fry shirt for most of the FNM tour of Brazil in 91, the bands have played together on at least four occasions, the most recent in 2010. Mr Bungle have also shared the bill with Primus also. 'We’ve known those guys for many, many y

The second single from Faith No More's fifth album King For A Day Fool For A Lifetime was released on May 1st 1995. Unbelievably this song almost didn’t make the cut, but was included at the insistence of Mike Bordin. "That's my favourite song. I was sort of a fuckin' weasel, and... that wasn't gonna be on the record, but that song turned out so great that it pushed another song off the record. I think it sounds great, I love that song. I really love the choruses, where it g
