Faith No More Share "Superhero"

The reunited Faith No More‘s first album in 18 years is Sol Invictus, and it’s out May 19 via Reclamation/Ipecac. Today, they’ve shared the first single from the album—listen to “Superhero” below via Marvel.

The single will be released as a 7” on March 17 and digitally March 31. Bill Gould discussed the song with Marvel:

“Superhero” actually just started from the sound of the song, where it has these pounding drums and it has like this throbbing kind of pulse, and we just called it the “Superhero” song. Because, a lot of the ways we write we visualize things.

Actually this is kind of interesting because we’re probably a unique band in a way. While we write music we’re talking about chord changes and different things like that. What we do is we describe scenes together, and we can visualize the scene and the music kind of comes. We kind of make movie scenes for movies that don’t exist. “Superhero” was one of those where it was definitely a superhero comic, I mean that was just the vibe of the song, and when Mike came to me writing words about it, we were already calling it “Superhero.” So it’s kind of like in the DNA; it’s a comic strip.
