Faith No More is a heavy metal/hard rock/funk band probably best known for its late 1980s/early 1990s work, including the singles "Epic" and "Falling to Pieces" (off the album The Real Thing). In some ways their sound anticipated nu metal of the late 1990s.

The Real Thing was a popular album in the early 1990s, with some of its videos receiving extensive airplay on MTV (including one showing a fish out of water, flopping about--provoking anger from animal rights activists. The footage was in slow motion; the fish was returned to its tank).

Faith No More's followup album Angel Dust featured the song "Midlife Crisis, as well as a re-recording of the theme to the film Midnight Cowboy.

Faith No More's next album met with sharp scorn from Beavis and Butthead and the band has since faded to obscurity.
