Tomahawk, the undefinable band featuring Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mondo Cane), Duane Denison (The Jesus Lizard), Trevor Dunn (Fantomas, Melvins Lite), and John Stanier (Helmet), is back after five years. The group is planning on releasing a new album entitled Oddfellows in January and will be doing their first live performance in nine years at the New Orlean’s Voodoo Music and Arts Experience in October. The group plans on announcing more tour dates in the near future.

Regarding Oddfellows, Denison says, “It’s dark and claustrophobic here, light and spacious there. Live in the studio, all together in one room. Oddfellows indeed.”

You can watch an album teaser below. Personally, I heard the music and immediately thought it sounded like King Crimson. Any one else get that vibe? READ MORE

UK Sonisphere 2012 Cancelled: What Does It Mean?

The 2012 UK edition of the Sonisphere festival has officially cancelled this year’s performance. The touring festival is a European staple since 2009, delivering some of the biggest names in music, including the first appearance of The Big 4 (Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax). While tragic that this had to happen, it speaks to a more worrisome issue regarding the music industry.

Mike Patton, the enigmatic frontman behind Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, and more, has been tapped by writer/director Derek Cianfrance to score the upcoming crime thriller/drama The Place Beyond The Pines.

Starring Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper, Rose Byrne, Eva Mendes, Ray Liotta, and more, the story revolves around a motorcycle stunt rider (Gosling) who considers committing a crime in order to provide for his newborn child, an act that puts him on a collision course with a cop-turned-politician (Cooper). The film apparently has a release date of Sept. 26th, 2012 in France, but only an ambiguous 2012 release date for the US.

Patton scored Crank 2: High Voltage and The Solitude Of Prime Numbers as well as providing voicework for The Darkness and Left 4 Dead.

Patton is also hard at work on another Tomahawk record, which has a tentative release date for late summer.

Faith No More’s Mike Patton Shares His Favorite Horror Music

Mike Patton has always done what’s come naturally.

That’s why he remains one of the most important artists of this generation. From Faith No More’s legendary rightfully deified catalog to his latest release Mondo Cane, a collection of Italian pop songs, Patton always simply followed his heart. With Mondo Cane, Patton actually allows listeners to get closer than ever to him as he covers some of his favorite ’60s Italian pop songs written by legends such as Ennio Morricone. Patton’s voice vibrates with vitality across this new soundscape, as he takes listeners on a journey through the “real” Italy. Mondo Cane hits shelves May 4th via Patton’s very own Ipecac label. Last night, he also provided a rapturous set at Coachella with Faith No More—easily the best of the weekend.
