The Reader has never had much to say about Faith No More—in our admittedly patchy archives, the only reference I could find to these Bay Area alt-metal weirdos during their peak years was a dumb joke in a 1992 Bill Wyman column. “The imponderables of rock ‘n’ roll are many,” he wrote, clearly already pleased with his impending punch line, “from why does Billy Joel exist to why do so many current groups (Metallica, Faith No More, Soundgarden, to name just three) feature guitarists with funny facial hair.”

Anyway. If you care about Faith No More at all, you’ve probably heard both of the songs they’ve released to tease Sol Invictus, “Superhero” and “Motherfucker.”

Tonight at Concord Music Hall, doors open at 7 PM, openers Le Butcherettes play at 8, and Faith No More goes on at 9:15. The show is sold out.
