Fantomas mp3 and a lot more

1. Mike Patton (vocals, sampling)
2. Buzz Osborne (guitar)
3. Trevor Dunn (bass)
4. Dave Lombardo (drums)

Mike Patton - the guy who is responsible for the whole stuff! He created the band just before he stopped working with his earlier project - Faith No More. Mike wanted to have guitarist Buzz Osborne (The Melvins), bassist Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle - high school band) and drummer Igor Cavalera (Sepultura) in his band. Cavalera declined the offer, but advised Patton to invite Dave Lombardo from Slayer instead of himself. Lombardo was the last one to join the whole mess!

The music they play is strongly related to heavy-metal, but actually the band expresses itself in variety of different genres. Some of the songs sound like those of expiremental noise bands, while others tend to be more psychedelic and even melodical. As for vocals.. let's skip it) One thing is for sure - they sound like no one else!

You can find all their albums I am writing about here:

Here is the up to date and complete discography of the band. However, I doubt that in the web it is possible to find all of Fantomas mp3s. For example - the split "Animali In Calore Surriscaldati Con Ipertermia Genitale/Cat in Red" is probably out of print.

Track list:

Pages from 1 to 30.

This very album was based on sci-fi comic books, so every song is titled as a page number. The artwork of the book is that of "Diabolik" - Italian comic series (see below).

The album officially titled as "Fantomas", though many refer to it as Amenaza Al Mundo - Spanish title of the French movie "Fantômas se déchaîne" (Fantomas threatens the World).

Diabolik (on the picture) is a fictional character, a villain and anti-hero as shown in comics made by Angela and Luciana Giussani in 1962. Several characters from French and Italian pulp fiction, primarily Fantômas, inspired sisters to create Diabolik.

Diabolik is a unique and talented thief that has knowledge in fields of computing, chemistry and mechanics. Usually he steals from criminals alike, but not always. He is aided by Eva (on the picture) - his partner on the slippery road of robbery and murder. Diabolik uses knifes and a dart gun. He drives only a black 1961 Jaguar E-type.

It is a live album by Fantômas and The Melvins which was released in 2002. It was recorded live at "Slim's", San Francisco, California December 31, 2000.

Tracklist:

1. Surgical Sound Specimens from the Museum of Skin

Well.. This album can probably be described as the track to a scary movie or concept-art album which main theme is a surgery without anesthesia.

It has only one track (74:17) and several genres and styles can be heard during listening to it, being separated only by ambience, sounds and voices in a surgical setting. No vocals are present, at least, in traditional meaning of the word. One can only hear some eerie-like noise and vocals without words, that are however used by the band to create some certain effect.

Tracklist:

Days of April 2005 from 1st to 30th.

Another concept album of Fantomas featuring cartoon-like sounds and mucis as well as being a tribute to the month of April.

Tracklist:

1. Animali In Calore Surriscaldati Con Ipertermia Genitale
2. Cat in Red

Split album recorded by Fantômas and Melt-Banana released in 2005.

The Fantomas track is taken from the recording sessions of two of their previous releases ("Suspended Animation" and "Delìrium Còrdia"). The title can be translated as "Animals In Heat Being Overheated By Genital Hypo-thermia."
