Tomahawk

An artist who never passes up the opportunity for a good collaboration, Tomahawk is one of many musical projects led by Mike Patton, best known as the frontman of Faith No More and Mr. Bungle. Tomahawk finds him working alongside other notables from rock's underground, including members of the Jesus Lizard, Helmet, and the Melvins. The band's music is aggressive, hard-edged, and sharply dynamic in the interplay between Patton's barking vocals and the incisive tone of the guitar, all built around melodic structures that show the inspiration of heavy metal and '90s alternative rock, with a bit of prog rock for seasoning. Tomahawk hit a high note with their second album, 2003's Mit Gas, while 2013's Oddfellows was an adventurous and eclectic effort and 2021's Toxic Immobility confirmed they were still a potent force after an eight-year sabbatical.
