Faith No More singer Mike Patton said “things are going to change” in 2015, and he wasn’t kidding. The band has confirmed plans for its first new album in 18 years, which will be released in April 2015 through its very own imprint, Reclamation Recordings.
According to a press release, the as-yet-untitled album is currently being recorded in Oakland, California, with bassist Bill Gould serving as producer. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Gould’s discussed the band’s decision to reunite for a new album: “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.”
“Motherfucker”, which the band debuted during a show in London over the summer, will serve as the album’s lead single. It will be released as a limited-edition 7-inch single for Record Store Day Black Friday on November 28th. A digital release will follow on December 9th.
Gould also revealed that the band plans to tour North America in 2015 with dates to be announced soon.
