Did Mike Patton Just Tease A New Faith No More Album On Twitter?

Less than a week after he was rightfully crowned as the world's most technically impressive singer, Faith No More (and about a million other things) frontman Mike Patton seems to have hinted that there may be new material in the works for the iconic rock act.

"Hey! Stay tuned for more Tweets from Twats!!!" the band tweeted on their brand new Twitter account (which is telling in itself), alongside a black-and-white Patton selfie.

"The reunion thing was fun, but now it's time to get a little creative."

The Twittersphere and comments on the band's Facebook post pointing to the new Twitter profile have taken the admittedly vague tweet to mean that the band are planning to release a new album, despite Patton's assertions as recently as last year that there were no plans for Faith No More to resume active creative duty.

The primary other suggestion as to what the band could have meant has been that of a forthcoming tour announcement, with most hopes and dreams centring around a worldwide tour of some sort - although that seems less likely given the context of the tweet and its reference to the reunion tour "being fun", but the impression being whatever's next isn't going to be more of the same.

Although it could just mean the members are taking up crocheting, if it does turn out bear fruit of the album kind, it will be Faith No More's first record since 1997's sleeper success Album Of The Year. Although the band reunited in 2009 following an 11-year hiatus, with it now approaching 20 years since their last output, the time may be ripe for Patton, Billy Gould and co. to reintroduce themselves to a whole new generation of potential fans.

Suffice to say, it would be... epic.
