1985 Debut Album Reissued On 180g Double LP Plus CD!
Includes 9 Exclusive Never-Before-Heard Songs!
The music of Faith No More has lived through five presidents, endless wars, economic boons and busts, global meltdown and revolutionary rebirths. Throughout the 80s and 90s, the hard-edged groups hybridized sound has scored the soundtrack to a time of change.
The bands story can be defined in epochs. The 80s debuted the ethos of the band: organized chaos. In the earliest days, the core lineup of bassist Bill Gould, drummer Mike Bordin, guitarist Jim Martin, and keyboardist Roddy Bottum, even featured Courtney Love on vocals. When singer Chuck Mosely later joined, their controlled explosion was rendered by genre smashing, FNM collided metal with rap, punk with grooves, demanded attention from audiences with albums We Care A Lot and Introduce Yourself. We work best when were dealing with a high sense of drama, Bottum says, tension and the release of tension has always been a thing that we do and thats a recurring theme. While hair metal bands of the 80s stripped away the rhythm section, the heavy bass-work of Gould and Bordins dexterous drumming made the rhythm section the spine of a song again. Bordins drumming is architectural, Gould says, he builds up a structure and leaves space where its needed.
