Reunited alternative metal forerunners FAITH NO MORE have revealed the cover art for Sol Invictus, their first studio album in 18 years. The album is due May 19 via Ipecac Recordings.
FAITH NO MORE founder and bass player, Bill Gould, oversaw the production of the CD. He said: “What I can say is that I think through our experience as musicians over the years, I think what we’re doing reflects where we’ve gone since we made our last record as FAITH NO MORE. I think this kicks things up a notch. And I think there’s parts that are very powerful and there’s parts that have a lot of ‘space.’ Everything we do, with our chemistry, the way we play; it’s always going to sound like us. It’s just what we do, that makes us feel good.”
FAITH NO MORE has confirmed its first North American shows since 2010 with a spring outing kicking off April 15 in Vancouver.
Preceding the tour is the release of a second single from the forthcoming album, “Superhero”, which will be available as a limited-edition seven-inch single on March 17 followed by a digital release on March 31.
FAITH NO MORE, which reunited in 2009 for a series of sold-out performances and international festivals, played a surprise set at Amoeba Records in San Francisco, California on November 28, 2014 in honor of Record Store Day’s Black Friday event and the release of the band’s “Motherfucker” single.
