Faith No More reveal album title and release date

Faith No More, have finally revealed that their new album, entitled Sol Invictus, will arrive on May 19 via Reclamation Recordings/Ipecac Recordings.  It is the follow up to their last album 19 years ago, Album of the Year.  Sol Invictus was produced by Gould and recorded in the band’s Oakland, Calif. studio.

“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,” explained Bill Gould in a recent Rolling Stone interview. “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. “

FNM also announced their first North American tour since 2010, with all dates sold out upon on-sale.  Faith No More travels to Japan and Australia in February.
