Faith No More Score Top 10 Hit With New Album 'Sol Invictus'

05/27/2015
. (Gibson) Faith No More's comeback - which began with reunion shows in 2009 - has high a high point as the band's new album Sol Invictus begins to hit the album charts internationally, clocking in at Number 6 on the UK charts and Number 2 on Australia's ARIA charts.

The album's Billboard 200 debut position will be officially announced on Thursday. Vocalist Mike Patton told Billboard last week that when the band initially reunited there were no plans to write new material. But eventually the rest of the band began working on new music. "Those guys were working on stuff, and if the music wasn't so great I wouldn't have been a part of it," Patton said, "But it was incredibly great."

When asked whether he thought people wanted to hear new Faith No More music, Patton said "I have no idea! Who knows whether they will like it or not? I never wanted to be a 50-year-old guy making music [for] teenagers. I don't think any of us did. But all I can tell you is we're making good s**t. I don't care who listens." Gibson report here.
