Faith No More Sol Invictus

[Pagan Saviour]

Actually while we're here - an excellent book appeared a few years back written by an Irish lad called Small Victories it's highly recommended

Very decent book alright

[Carnage]

Onto the list it goes.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Yeah, I'd be tempted by that. Haven't read a music biography type book in absolutely years.

The launch was in Dublin, Mike Bordin was there - Harte connected with himself Bottom and Gould which says it all.

" When I started the book in April 2017, the first email I received said, "I have noticed talk about you taking on our story in a book. I wanted to reach out and offer my help in any way you'd deem useful. Who knows what that would be, or where it would lead?" That mail was from Mike Bordin, and it led us here, to Dublin, and to this book. Thanks Mike for all your help and for being here tonight."
Mike Bordin said: "This is not a book; this is the book. My take on it is this, if there is going to be a book made and a book we can trust, then this is going to be the book. We are not going to do this again, this is the book."

Aidy setup one of the first ever FNM fansites in the early days of the internet. He's been working high up in UEFA of all places, for must be over twenty years now.

Class, will defo pick it up.

It's not the FNM I grew up with, and not the record I expected, but I still stand by it. Apart from Black Friday which is the worst thing they've ever written. Definitely don't love it as much as when it came out but there's plenty of songs I rate on there,including Motherfucker which everyone seemed to hate.

TBH,pains me to say it, it feels like Patton's best days are behind him creatively, I don't know what the fuck he's at lately but there's very little he's done that's in anyway as exciting. I think the "Corpse Flower" record was the last thing of his that was enjoyable to me, and this AVTT/PATTON thing can fuck off. The Bungle thing is beyond a joke now. I'm sure there's plenty money in it for all involved but it's time to either stop or move on rather than piss away their legacy by putting effort into being remembered as a bog standard thrash band.

I agree with all this, motherfucker pops into my head regular, im pretty sure jt was first release and might have even gone up on something like soundcloud or just a youtube lyric video or something

Corpse flower isnt old, and I do still dig anytime he gets together with what would be my favourite project of his, Tomahawk.

Listening to We Care a Lot for the first time in years, Mosleys vocals are absolute shit. Would have been worth just rerecording it with Patton

[Dr Rockso]

I actually enjoy Sol Invictus for what it is;a band regrouping and writing music they want to play instead of trying to recapture 'their youth'.

There's a few decent songs on the album. Matador and Cone of shame are songs I return to from time to time.

I grew to appreciate Moseley's vocals but they're still awful compared to Patton.

As for Patton, I haven't liked anything he's done in years (with the exception of the Bungle album). That last thing he did was godawful.

[Pentagrimes]

That's pretty much it for me as well. It's them at that age, no them trying to recreate the band they were 25 years before.

Highly recommend the book as well, really good stuff.It's interesting to note that Patton was the only one who didn't contribute.

Regarding Album of the Year

If a few of the songs BPMs were a bit faster, they'd be perfect

They'd be in Angel Dust good



Jizzlobber is one of their best

Ferocious

[astfgyl]

Album Of The Year sounded a lot better to me after Sol Invictus came out is about all I have to say about Sol Invictus.

Maybe it'll click in a few years

[Dr Rockso]

Was it Jizzlobber that Enslaved did a cover of?
