The album marked their first since 1997\u2019s <i>Album of the Year<\/i>, and followed a 15-year hiatus, as well as several years on the reunion-tour circuit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Since the <i>Sol Invictus<\/i> tour wrapped, the members of Faith No More turned their attention to a variety of other projects. Singer Mike Patton teamed with Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo to form <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-features\/dead-cross-mike-patton-dave-lombardo-talk-spastic-new-album-123565\/\">Dead Cross<\/a>, while keyboardist Roddy Bottom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/faith-no-more-keyboardist-chronicles-aids-bike-ride-in-new-opera-112005\/\">composed a mini-opera<\/a> <i>The Ride<\/i>, which premiered in December 2016.

What we do is a really special, unique thing that we kind of share. \u2026 We kind of get in the room and we have a language that speaks really loud and really clear. \u2026 I think we all acknowledge that it\u2019s not something that any of us want to turn our backs on, and it\u2019s fun to do. So in the hopes of pushing things forward and making new music, we continue to do that, to get together and make new sounds and just have a dialogue about prospects and songs and where we go in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"pmc-contextual-player\">\n<h3> Popular on Rolling Stone <\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/faith-no-more-european-tour-dates-live-918182\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Faith No More announced a slate of European concert dates, marking their first live shows in four years and first European shows in five years.
