Faith No More have picked up the Best Album award at the Metal Hammer Golden Gods awards at Indigo2 at The O2 Arena in London on Monday night.
Are they the first non-metal band to win a Metal Hammer award?
And here’s some video of the moment from Metal Hammer – from 11:34. It’s pretty cool seeing Duff McKagan and Scott Ian joining in on the Faith No More chants.
The award was presented by Duff McKagan of Guns N’Roses who tweeted:

“Sol Invictus” is “Album of the Year” ? Now I’m confused.
Yeah, it’s there on the single but they amped it up on the album track. There is great arrangement all over that song. Seeing as how Roddy probably wrote the words for that song (he posted the lyrics for that 1 song) and wrote it, the vocal melodies and arrangements are probably why Patton gets a writing credit on that one too…it really add a ton to the song. I like the subtle guitar throughout also with the big finish….it’s very Epic and Midlife Crisis – esque to me.
So, I was driving in my truck today, listening to SI and motherfucker came on. All of a sudden I hear this third vocal track that’s a little higher tone going um bop bop or something when Roddy is chanting “get the motherfucker on the phone”. I was floored because I have been listening to this song almost daily since they released it last year and I had never heard this. I had a big smile on my face because it really changed the song for me and made it 5 times better. I only wish it were a little louder in the mix because it’s really cool. I’m not sure why I hadn’t heard it before. Was it in the original download from last year?
Congratulations guys! Can someone confirm that the Metal Hammer issue with FNM on the cover is only the UK version? I’ve looked in the U.S. and it has slipknot or somebody on the cover.
So great!!!! Congrats!!!!!!! Where is the Grammy??????
