Faith No More have debuted an eerie and heavy new song titled "Cone of Shame," which will appear on their upcoming album Sol Invictus, at a gig in Tokyo. Keyboardist Roddy Bottum confirmed the song's title, listed as "untitled" in a video upload, on Twitter (via Metal Injection).
The tune, which frontman Mike Patton sang partially from behind a red bandanna, begins with a sparse, Spaghetti Western guitar line. After military drums kick in, Patton sings about wanting to blow his head off and lost love, leading to the "cone of shame" metaphor. The song eventually kicks into heavy, high gear with Patton alternating vocals between snarling about stripping bones over thrash riffing. The song is like one big crescendo with jangling guitars, crushing rhythms and Patton exclaiming, "You're only happy when you're pissing me off."
