Fantomas <--Fantomas-->


Fantomas is an alternative metal band. The group is named after Fantomas, a villain featured in a series of crime novels popular in France before World War I.

The group was formed when singer Mike Patton composed a handful of spasmic, experimental metal songs after the collapse of his earlier group, Faith No More. Patton then sent the original compositions to his friends, hoping to form a performing group: guitarist Buzz Osborne (of The Melvins), Trevor Dunn (of Mr. Bungle) and drummer Igor Cavalera (of Sepultura). Cavalera declined the offer, but recommended whom he thought would be perfect for the project: Dave Lombardo of Slayer. Lombardo accepted and thus was formed Patton's own supergroup.

Though rooted in heavy metal, their music actually touches on many different musical genres, and is noted for its offbeat sense of humor; one critic has dubbed their style "dada-metal" Critic Greg Prato describes their music as "completely original".
