Teaser for new material

On May 29, 2014, Faith No More posted a message (along with a photograph of Mike Patton) on their Twitter account, saying that “the reunion thing was fun, but now it’s time to get a little creative.” On July 4, Faith No More played their first show in two years at Hyde Park in London, supporting Black Sabbath . At that show, Faith No More debuted two new songs “Motherfucker” and “Superhero” (also known by fans as “Leader of Men”). On August 20, the band posted “The Reunion Tour is over; in 2015 things are going to change.” These tweets led to speculation that the band was working on new material. On August 30, Gould said that the band is “considering doing something new”, and may begin work on a new studio album at some point in the not-too-distant future, explaining, “to do something creative would be a really good thing to do.” On September 2, Bill Gould revealed to Rolling Stone that the band had begun work on a new album. Faith No More headlined the final edition of Australia’s Soundwave in February and March 2015.
