What a great day this has been. FAITH NO MORE, my favorite band of all-time, has officially announced that their first album since 1997’s ALBUM OF THE YEAR will be released in April of 2015. This is HUGE news, and the first single will be released via Record Store Day’s Black Friday event (11/28/14) when a limited-edition (5,000 copies) 7″ vinyl of the song “Motherf**ker” hits the streets. Can I line up for this now?
“We’ve always shared a chemistry between ourselves that’s unique to this band, but these past few years of touring together have made us aware that we not only play better as a unit, but we like the new stuff we’re coming up with. So we’ve decided: we’re going to get busy in 2015…make an album we’re proud of, kick things up a notch, get out there and perform it and maybe even dedicate a little more focus to our fans in the States this time.”Bill Gould, speaking with Rolling Stone
The as-of-yet untitled album is being recorded in an Oakland, Calif. studio with Gould handling production. The release will be the first from Faith No More’s newly formed imprint, Reclamation Recordings, which will be distributed by Ipecac Recordings.
Prior to the new album’s release, Faith No More will headline Australia’s Soundwave Festival in February 2015. Worldwide tour dates will be announced soon.
In a strange coincidence, today was also the announcement of Roma Music Group’s TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE ROCK STAR: LULLABY VERSIONS OF FAITH NO MORE, which I previously posted about here. That record of baby-friendly FNM tunes will be released on September 16.
