Alt-metal band Faith No More has announced that after 18 years they will be recording a new album, their first since 1997’s Album of The Year. The new album will come out next April, so strap yourselves in for a bit of a wait.
A limited edition (5000 copies) 7-inch single of the song “Motherfucker” will precede the April 2015 release, available via Record Store Day’s Black Friday event (Nov. 28). The single will be released digitally on Dec. 9.
Bill Gould, talking with Rolling Stone, states:
We’ve always shared a chemistry between ourselves that’s unique to this band, but these past few years of touring together have made us aware that we not only play better as a unit, but we like the new stuff we’re coming up with. So we’ve decided: we’re going to get busy in 2015…make an album we’re proud of, kick things up a notch, get out there and perform it and maybe even dedicate a little more focus to our fans in the States this time.
The band will embark on a worldwide tour, with dates being announced soon.
