Encyclopedia
Fantômas is an avant-garde metal supergroup
formed in 1998 in California
, United States
. The band is named after Fantômas
, a supervillain
featured in a series of crime novels popular in France
before World War I
and in film, most notably in the 60s French movie series
.
as a series of spasmic, avant-garde metal songs composed by vocalist
and bandleader
Mike Patton
. Patton then sent the demos to guitarist
Buzz Osborne
(of The Melvins
), bassist Trevor Dunn
(of Mr. Bungle
) and drummer
Igor Cavalera
(of Sepultura
) with the intention of forming a supergroup
. Cavalera declined the offer, but recommended who he thought would be perfect for the project: Dave Lombardo
of Slayer
, who accepted.
In mid-2005, the band toured Europe
with Terry Bozzio
on drums, because Lombardo was on tour with Slayer
. Lombardo returned to the band for the final dates of the tour, which concluded on September 15, 2005.
On May 13, 2006, Patton revealed to Billboard.com that a fifth Fantômas album has been planned. Of the album, Patton says "The next record is going to be an all-electronic affair. It's going to take some creative planning on how to record it and execute it, but there will be no acoustic instruments on it whatsoever. We're pretty much about to go into hibernation mode. I need to, once I have a little time, go back to the drawing board, and start writing the next one." In November 2008, Rock-A-Rolla, a UK-based alternative music magazine, exclusively revealed on their website that the new album is currently being worked on and a tentative June 2009 release is possible, however in the May/June 2009 issue of Rock-A-Rolla, in an interview with Greg Werckman
, Werckman stated that Mike "hasn't even begun" recording the next Fantômas record.
On July 21, 2011, Rock-A-Rolla revealed that Fantômas would be releasing their performance at San Francisco’s Great American Music Hall on Dec. 31, 2008 as a DVD and a standalone audio download, titled "The Director’s Cut Live: A New Year’s Revolution".
Though rooted in avant-garde metal, their music touches on many different musical genres, making liberal use of experimentalism
and noise
. Fantômas' music is also noted for its absurdism and offbeat sense of humor; one critic dubbed their style "dada
-metal," a reference to the "anti-art" dada movement of the early 1900s. Critic Greg Prato describes their music as "completely original…especially when compared to the blah and predictable alt-rock
of the late '90s." Patton rarely sings conventional lyrics with the group, preferring his own bizarre style of voice music or scat singing
