Similar Stories to Faith No More Marks Return With 1st Album In 18 Years, Tour on Bing News

Faith No More marks return with 1st album in 18 years, tour NEW YORK (AP) — Faith No More bassist Bill Gould likes to think of the band's new record as an aging actress. "Sure, her body's getting a little older, but she's not afraid to show it; she's still sexy," he said during a recent interview in New York City, where the band played two sold-out shows in support of "Sol Invictus," its first in 18 years released last week. "When you're younger and you're insecure, in a way you don't have the mojo, the juice, you know," he said. The 52-year-old Gould and the rest of his bandmates — keyboardist Roddy Bottum, drummer Mike Bordin, guitarist Jon Hudson and singer Mike Patton — disbanded in 1998 and spent some time apart before regrouping in 2009 to play reunion shows. "Sol Invictus" was engineered and recorded by Gould in his studio space in Oakland in 2014 and 2015, and is being released on Reclamation Recordings, a subsidiary of Patton's own Ipecac Recordings label. For a band that once briefly flirted with the mainstream following the success of the catchy, rap-meets-metal mega-hit "Epic," having the freedom to dictate whether they put out a record, tour or make an appearance at this point in their lives is a top priority. In a wide-ranging interview, Patton and Gould discussed the origins of the new album and the challenges of not being a normal band. Even at the height of their popularity, Gould said the band was always wary of overstaying their welcome at Slash/Warner Bros. "Sol Invictus" was spearheaded by Gould who, unbeknownst to the rest of the band, had been writing and recording new material in his studio. Patton: I didn't bring any songs or ideas to the record on an elemental level because I didn't know we were going to make a record.
