Description:Faith No More are virtually impossible to categorize; they blend metal and rap elements in a mix that becomes seamless on The Real Thing, whose hit single, "Epic," is a perfect combination of these disparate genres.

Great music is great music, the genre doesn't matter...and a band that's willing to push boundaries & defy expectations is worth more than a band who's happy to be pigeon-holed.
