MIKE PATTON (Fantômas, Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Peeping Tom and the forthcoming Mondo Cane amongst others) has just completed his first major motion film score for the film Crank 2: High Voltage (Apr. 17 release).

While Patton has often dabbled in film whether it was lending his voice to the creatures in I Am Legend, his score for the indie film noir short A Perfect Place or Fantômas’ film scoring interpretation via The Director’s Cut, this marks his first proper film score.

Created during the latter half of 2008, Patton holed up in a Los Angeles studio and eliminated all other projects during the recording, a point worth noting as he is well known for being one of modern music’s most prolific artists.

Patton has also provided vocals to several videogames including “Bionic Commando,” “Portal,” “Left 4 Dead,” and “The Darkness.”  He also lent his voice to Adult Swim’s Metalocalypse (character name: Rikki Kix).  Patton just wrapped up a trek across Australia with Fantômas as part of the Big Day Out festival.   His upcoming schedule includes a performance with labelmates Zu (Mar. 19 @ Great American Music Hall in San Francisco), the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Apr. 17 with Rahzel (ex-Roots beatboxer) and the highly anticipated reunion tour with Faith No More in Europe this summer.
