Faith No More is an American rock band hailing from San Francisco, California, formed originally as "Faith No Man" in 1981. The band underwent several lineup changes early on, with bassist Billy Gould, keyboardist Roddy Bottum, and drummer Mike Bordin remaining the consistent members. They achieved a breakthrough with their 1989 album "The Real Thing," which featured the band's new lead vocalist Mike Patton and contained the hit single "Epic." Their sound is a distinctive fusion of heavy metal, funk, progressive rock, hip-hop, and experimental music, making them one of the more unconventional and adventurous bands to come out of the alternative metal scene.

Following the release of their critically acclaimed album "Angel Dust" in 1992, Faith No More solidified their place in music history with a series of successful albums before disbanding in 1998. However, they reformed in 2009 and delivered their first studio album in 18 years with "Sol Invictus" in 2015, which was warmly received by fans and critics alike. Known for their powerful, genre-defying sound and dynamic live performances, Faith No More's legacy has been marked by their unwillingness to conform to mainstream tastes, earning them a dedicated cult following and influencing a wide array of musicians across various genres. They've continued to maintain their significance in the rock world through various re-releases like the "Album of the Year (2016 Remaster; Deluxe Edition)" and remix singles such as "Motherfucker (JG Thirlwell Remix)" and "Superhero (Battaglia Remix)" that complement their diverse discography.
