FAITH NO MORE founder and bass player, Bill Gould, is overseeing production.

“We are armed with the new material and ready for whatever comes our way.”

which reunited in 2009 for a series of sold-out performances and international festivals, played a surprise set at Amoeba Records in San Francisco, California on November 28, 2014 in honor of Record Store Day’s Black Friday event and the release of the band’s “Motherfucker” single.

“Motherfucker” is the first new music to come from the influential alt-metal act since 1997’s “Album Of The Year”. It was made available as a digital release on December 9, 2014. The B-side of the physical release is a remix of the track by JG Thirlwell.

Among the songs set to appear on FAITH NO MORE‘s new CD is “Matador”, which was written in early 2012 and first performed by FAITH NO MORE in concert that summer.

“It’ll be much different than everything else out there — but that’s sort of the point,” Gould told Revolver magazine. “It’s a combination of what we don’t hear in the outside world and what we feel is lacking from other bands. And in the end, it will sound like FAITH NO MORE.”

“Parts of it remind me of the first SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES album,” Gould added. “We used real pianos and that brings this organic quality to it to the music.”

Prior to the new album’s release, FAITH NO MORE will headline Australia’s Soundwave festival in February.

FAITH NO MORE is Mike Bordin (drums), Roddy Bottum (keyboards), Bill Gould (bass), Jon Hudson (guitar) and Mike Patton (vocals).
