FAITH NO MORE STILL CARE A LOT IN 2016
After Three Decades Faith No More Still Care A Lot!
2015 was undoubtedly one the most exciting years to be a Faith No More fan. With a brand new album, a world tour, tv/radio appearances and numerous interviews it was over 12 months of genuine happiness for us. Some fans had waited 17 years to experience the joys new music brings, others never had the pleasure of anticipating a new FNM release before.
It goes without saying that we were all hoping for some kind of continuation or added extras from Sol invictus in 2016 but we were expecting a relatively quiet chapter in FNM's history compared to the previous year.
However we were wrong....
This year has seen reissues of their classic catalogue, two unforgettable shows, a single and new video, plus some of their most revealing interviews. Not to mention the endeavours of the individual members outside the ranks of FNM. In summary another wonderful year in which we have been yet again surprised and spoilt.
So here is our month by month recap of some of the most memorable moments of the last 12 months.

The Future
This only leaves us to anticipate what 2017 will offer. It is true that FNM have earned a break and could quite rightly leave us to digest the last two years of hard work. But ever unpredictable we can never be sure what delights this next year will present. Don't forget 2017 sees the 30th anniversary of Introduce Yourself, the 25th anniversary of Angel Dust and the 20th anniversary of Album Of The Year.
A New FNM album?
Both Bill and Mike B have mentioned they have material left over from the Sol Invictus sessions, Mike declaring he would love to return to the studio with FNM. Jon Hudson told FNM followers he was writing new music And Mike P has also said there is unfinished business. However with individual members being busy we may have to wait until 2018.
Bill will most certainly be driving Koolarrow and is currently rapping up the production of new Como Asesinar a Felipes music.
Roddy has a new Imperial Teen album in the works. He has penned a brand new Opera, The Ride ..... and is possibly returning to Sasquatch the Opera for performances outside the States.
Mike Patton will be performing new Tētēma material in January. Plus he is in the studio with Dave Lombardo's Dead Cross. We have no doubt he will be continually busy.
