Faith No More’s Mike Bordin Discusses The Bands’ Hiatus and The Status of Mike Patton with The Band

Posted on by

 

In a rare interview, Faith No More, former Ozzy and Korn drummer Mike “Puffy” Bordin joined the Let There Be Talk podcast with Dean Delray, and gave a two-hour discussion on many topics. Although hesitant to drop any bombshell news, he did give an update on the status of Faith No More and why the band has not resumed touring or any activities. This follows similar comments recently from Roddy Bottum. Bordin says he can only speak for the members he is in touch with: Bottom and Billy Gould. Three and a half years after canceling their tour at the last minute in 2021 performances, citing frontman Mike Patton’s mental health struggles and other issues, Bordin implied that Patton is now not interested in working with the band anymore. FNM members are also unhappy that Patton has continued to tour sporadically with Mr. Bungle. As of now the band has no future plans, and Bordin discussed the band in the past tense. He also discussed past relationships with Jim Martin, Chuck Mosely, praised Courtney Love, replacing Randy Castillo (RIP), his current project with his former Ozzy touring bandmates Joe Holmes and Robert Trujillo, and his lifelong love of San Francisco. Continue reading →

Royale Lynn Shared a New Single and Music Video for “Greed” – Debut Album “Black Magic” Coming Soon

Posted on by

Nashville-based artist Royale Lynn announces her debut album Black Magic due for release on June 27th via Epitaph Records. Produced by Jonathan Roach, the record is a raw exploration of Royale’s personal struggles with mental health, woven through a narrative inspired by mythology and fantasy. Drawing from the legend of Pandora’s Box, each song represents an “evil” that escaped Pandora’s box into humanity. Taking cues from 2000’s hard-rock icons like Evanescence and Flyleaf, Royale shares the lead single “Greed” with bright, piercing vocals that rise over the urgent, thundering instrumentation of the track. Directed by Scott Hansen (A Day To Remember, Sevendust) with dazzling visual effects, the accompanying music video is set in a dark futuristic fantasy world, featuring a leather-clad Royale performing alongside her band with an army of creepy masked figures that represent “greed”.  Watch the video and pre-order the album now!
