Faith No More Announce ‘Sol Invictus,’ Their First New Album Since 1997

Faith No More, Sol Invictus, New Album

There will finally be some more Faith No More, as the Bay Area band will release a new album — their first in 18 years — this May. Sol Invictus, which was recorded in the band’s Oakland, California studio, promises to show some of the group’s evolution over the past two, mostly-quiet decades.

“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,” bassist Bill Gould explained to Rolling Stone back in September when the record was first being discussed. “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.”

The first single from the album, the delightfully named “Motherfucker,” came out last year. A second track will drop in March, and the full album comes out May 19. They’ve also announced a world tour, the dates of which you can find below.
