8 June 2022

Band: FAITH NO MORE
Who: Nu punk-metal heroes from San Francisco, led by Mike Patton
Active: 1979–1998, 2009–present / 7 studio LPs

Anniversary album: ANGEL DUST – their 4th LP
Released: 8 June 1992 – 30 years ago today
Score: #9 in the US, #2 in the UK, #4 in Australia

AllMusic: “Angel Dust steps up the meta-metal of earlier days with the expected puree of other influences, further touched by an almost cinematic sense of storming atmosphere… Patton’s voice is stronger and downright smooth at many points throughout, the musicians collectively still know their stuff, and the result is twisted entertainment at its finest.” Score: 4.5/5.

Billy Gould (bassist) about the upsetting back sleeve artwork: “It’s really
aggressive and disturbing and then really soothing. It’s the beautiful with the sick.”
