Faith No More to release Sol Invictus on May 19

Alternative rock titans Faith No More are poised to release their first album since 1997 and we finally have a date and a title for the record.  On May 19, the quixotic outfit from San Francisco will drop Sol Invictus.  The album is preceded by the unruly single "Motherfucker," which is currently available and incredibly cool.  There are rumors that a second single titled either "Superhero" or "Leader of Men" will be made available in March. 

Additionally, the band has scheduled the following U.S. tour dates:

April 16 - Seattle, WA - Paramount Theater

April 17 - Portland, OR - Keller Auditorium

April 19 - San Francisco, CA - Warfield

April 20 - San Francisco, CA - Warfield

April 23 - Los Angeles, CA - The Wiltern

April 24 - Los Angeles, CA - The Wiltern

April 25 - Santa Ana, CA - The Observatory

May 7 - Chicago, IL - Concord Music Hall

May 8 - Detroit, MI - The Fillmore

May 11 - Boston, MA - Orpheum Theatre

May 13 - New York, NY - Webster Hall

May 14 - New York, NY - Webster Hall

May 15 - Philadelphia, PA - Electric Factory

However, don't get your hopes up--those shows all sold out pretty much as soon as tickets became available.  Fortunately, the band insists that additional U.S. shows will be scheduled, and given the response we can hope for lots of them.
