FANTOMAS Is An American Avant-Garde Metal Supergroup Formed In 1998 In California. It Features Versatile Lead Singer MIKE PATTON (FAITH NO MORE, MR. BUNGLE), Drummer DAVE LOMBARDO (ex-SLAYER), Guitarist BUZZ OSBOURNE (MELVINS) And Bassist TREVOR DUNN (MR. BUNGLE, TOMAHAWK). The Band Is Named After Fantomas, A Supervillain Featured In A Series Of Crime Novels Popular In France Before World War I And In Film, Most Notably In The 1960s French Movie Series.
FANTOMAS' Musical Style Has Generally Been Labeled As Avant-Garde Metal, Experimental Rock, Grindcore, And Alternative Metal. Their Sound Has Also Been Described As Noise Rock. Though Rooted In Avant-Garde Metal, FANTOMAS' Music Touches On Many Different Musical Genres, Making Liberal Use Of experimentalism And Noise. FANTOMAS' Music Is Also Noted For Its Absurdism And Off-Beat Sense Of Humor; One Critic Dubbed Their Style "Dada Metal,' In Reference To The "Anti-Art" Dada Movement Of The Early 1900s.
PATTON Rarely Sings Conventional Lyrics With The Group, Preferring His Own Bizarre Style Of Voice Music Or Scat Singing.
The Band Arranges Albums Around Concepts or Themes:
"Fantomas" Is Based On Science Fiction Comic Books, With Every Song Simply Given A Page Number ("Page 1," "Page 2," etc..). The Artwork Was Mostly Taken From The Italian Comic "Diabolik."
"The Director's Cut" Is A Series Of Reinterpretations Of Motion Picture Theme Songs. Some Versions Are Rather Loyal To The Sources (Such As The Eerie Lullaby From "Night Of The Hunter"), While Others Offer Radical Takes On The Music (Such As The Theme From "The Godfather," Tackled In Part As An Extreme Metal Song).
"Delerium Cordia" Is One Extended Song, With The Concept Of Surgery Without Anesthesia.
"Suspended Animation" Is An Album Of Twisted Cartoon Music, Each Track Named After A Day In The Month Of April 2005, And The Limited-Edition, First Pressing Of The Album Was Itself (Literally) A Calendar Of The Month Featuring The Art Of Contemporary Japanese Pop Artist YOSHITOMO NARA.
American Math-Rock Titans TOOL Cited FANTOMAS As A Major Influence On Their 2006 Record "10,000 Days." In 2006, MASTODON Cited Several Experimental Bands, Among Them FANTOMAS, As An Inspiration To Expand Their Sound Into New Directions. DAN BRIGGS, Bassist For BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME, Called It "A Big Part Of (His) Musical Background" And Considers The FANTOMAS Box Set, "Wunderkammer", One Of His Most Valuable Records.
American Nu-Metal Band SLIPKNOT Was Heavily Influenced By FANTOMAS In Its Beginning. The Whole Band, Who Was Already A Fan Of MIKE PATTON, Attended One Of Their First Shows In 1998 Before FANTOMAS Released Any Music And Were Astounded By Their Technical Prowess, Calling Them The Tightest Band They Have Ever Seen. Its Drummer, JOEY JORDISON Said That The Work Of DAVE LOMBARDO On FANTOMAS Should Be Known By Every Drummer. MUSHROOMHEAD Frontman JASON POPSON Called It His Favorite Band In 2000. Other Bands Influenced By FANTOMAS Include CKY, THE LOCUST, And CAR BOMB. Known Fans Of FANTOMAS Include DANNY DEVITO, Fantasy Writer ALAN MOORE And Dance Music Artist MOBY.
I Pulled The Theme From The Psychotronic Early 60s JACK HILL-Directed Frightfest "Spider Baby," Which Originally Was Croaked By LON CHANEY JR., And "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me" From The Band's Second Album, 2001s "The Director's Cut."
The Third Included Track Is A Live Performance Of The Theme To "Cape Fear," Pulled From The Face-Melting Collaboration, THE FANTOMAS-MELVINS BIG BAND's "Millennium Monsterwork" Album - A Must For Every Home Collection.
FANTOMAS Has Four Studio Albums, Two Live Albums (Including FANTOMAS-MELVINS BIG BAND's "Millennium Monsterwork."), Two Split Releases With MELT-BANANA & MELVINS, Two Video Albums, And A Comprehensive Vinyl-LP Box Set.
