Biography
Faith No More welded Billy Gould's elastic bass, Roddy Bottum's keys, and a revolving-door singer policy until Mike Patton defined the classic era.
The Real Thing and Angel Dust proved they could chart without diluting odd time signatures or sardonic humour.
Their influence echoes wherever heavy bands still fearlessly pilfer pop, jazz, and sampler culture in one track.
Remastered streams expose dual-kick attack, horn stabs, and vocal FX that cheap earbuds flatten.
