Mike Patton Teaming with John Kaada For Collaborative Album Bacteria Cult

Less than a week after his band Nevermen dropped their self-titled debut, Faith No More‘s Mike Patton has announced another collaborative project. This time, he’ll be teaming up with Norweigan composer and producer John Kaada for Bacteria Cult, an eight-track LP released under the moniker Kaada/Patton. It’s due out April 1 via Ipecac; find the tracklisting below. That’s the artwork above. 

Bacteria Cult isn’t the first time the two have made music as Kaada/Patton. Back in 2004, they released a full-length titled Romances. Three years later, they followed it up with a live DVD, Kaada/Patton Live. 

“Working with John Kaada on this latest release was an honor and pure pleasure,” Patton said in a press release, continuing:

His compositions have always resonated deeply with me and his orchestral arrangements for this project are harmonically dense and delicious! Each individual piece is so well constructed and inventively assembled that my vocal passages practically sang themselves. I’m hoping very much that we can seduce some eardrums and welcome listeners into this lush sonic ‘otherworld.’

Bacteria Cult:

01 Red Rainbow
02 Black Albino
03 Peste Bubonica
