  • Faith No More Perform New Song "Cone of Shame" Live

    Faith No More debuted a new song from their upcoming "Sol Invictus" album titled "Cone of Shame." The fan footage from the show in Japan is not of the highest quality, but it shows off the creepy tone of the song. The track follows the menacing lead single "Motherf**ker," the band's first piece of new music since 1997's "Album of the Year." The second official single from the album, "Superhero," will drop in March, Blabbermouth noted.

  • Faith No More Shares 'Motherf---ker': 1st Single in 16 Years from Upcoming Album [LISTEN]

    Faith No More is back with its first single since the late 1990s, and the boys sound like they are ready to reclaim their right rightful spot atop the alt-metal world. The new song, which they premiered live over the summer, is titled "Motherf--ker" — if you are going to come back from a 17-year recording hiatus, why not make the first single radio unfriendly? The track, off their upcoming seventh album, is menacing as it builds to Mike Patton's signature howl. "We took the second sip from a cup we made of bones," he sings. "The first it was a ruse, a trick so aptly thrown / The truth is that our youth was a carpet laid of stones / Get the motherf--ker on the phone, the phone." "It feels apt that the first track we're releasing is 'Motherf--ker,' a song about accountability," keyboardist Roddy Bottum said in a statement. "Basically we've created, recorded and mixed a new body of work by ourselves and we're releasing it on our own label. It's a huge deal for us to only have ourselves to answer to at this point in our career and the song is about that, where the buck stops via the basic imagery of foie gras production, bondage ... y'know, stuff like that." The single will also be available as a 7-inch vinyl for Record Store Day Nov. 28.
