Faith No More

Holy Maynard! Could it be true? Tool, who MetalSucks so appropriately called "the past, present and future best band on the planet," are writing material for a new record, working three days a week on new tunes while frontman Maynard James Keenan continues touring the U...

The status of Ozzfest may be up in the air right now, but the formerly annual tour was a breeding ground and one-stop shop for the best, brightest and oftentimes most fleeting acts in metal. The fest's alumni list reads like a 'Who's Who' of hard rock, with everyone from Black Sabbath to Queens of the Stone Age to System of a Down to Meshuggah to Hatebreed (known for inciting circle pits around

Mike Patton is a man of many voices. He is perhaps as well-known for his wails in Faith No More -- who will be playing Coachella on April 17 and the New York's Williamsburg Waterfront on July 5 -- as he is for projects like Mr. Bungle and Tomahawk, which are so delightfully far in left field that they hang out in the bleachers...

It was an exciting week at Noisecreep central. We developed the capability to run photos on giant LED screens of the bands and albums we're talking about and we actually looked like a real broadcast news department.

The stories about Faith No More frontman Mike Patton's onstage and offstage antics are the thing of legend. Of course, there was the L7 tampon incident, the urine he drank from a woman's pump and those tales of feces-covered paper towels being stuffed into hotel blow dryers...

One of the coolest young bands to emerge from the new wave of thrash metal is Huddersfield, England's Evile, whose 20007 debut, 'Enter the Grave,' was a scorching blend of Slayer speed and Metallica-style riffs. With their 2009 follow-up, 'Infected Nations,' Evile strived to bust outside the box by creating more original songs without abandoning their core sound...

The revelation the other day from Ozzy Osbourne that his namesake festival, Ozzfest, would be returning this summer after going dark in 2009 as a traveling festival and not a one-off destination date like 2008's installment, has metalheads talking...

The lineup for the 11th Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has been revealed, and as expected, the recently reunited Faith No More are confirmed for the second night of this year's installment.
