Funk Metal Albums

After a fifteen-year studio gap, Six makes it clear that EXTREME has always been far more than a one-hit story.

Faith No More's seventh album, from May 2015 and their first in the eighteen years since Album of the Year.

Saudades de Rock puts Nuno Bettencourt’s sharp guitar and Gary Cherone’s expressive voice back at the heart of Extreme.

Renegades turns Rage Against the Machine’s influences into material that still sounds like Rage.

The Battle of Los Angeles unites bouncing bass, hard drums, unorthodox guitar sounds and sharply delivered words in Rage Against the Machine’s tense political rock.

Evil Empire binds funk-rooted rhythm, rap’s sharp cadence and Tom Morello’s strange guitar vocabulary even more tightly.

Waiting for the Punchline moves Extreme away from its brighter funk-metal identity and toward thick riffs, rougher textures and a more tense atmosphere.

III Sides to Every Story divides Extreme’s mix of funk-driven rhythm, hard-rock sharpness and orchestral scale into three connected sections.

Faith No More's fourth album, out on 8 June 1992. It is the first on which Mike Patton had a real hand in the writing, and the last with guitarist Jim Martin.

Rage Against the Machine's self-titled debut made a striking entrance in 1992, binding rap, funk groove and metal riffs with political urgency.

Pornograffitti finds EXTREME in a phase that crosses heavy riffs, bouncing rhythm and dense harmony to create a distinctive groove.

Extreme’s debut joins sharp guitar riffs, funk-leaning bounce, and energetic choruses into a vivid first statement.

Faith No More's third album, the first with Mike Patton singing, recorded at Studio D in California between December 1988 and January 1989.

Bad Brains' third album, recorded at Long View Farm with Ron Saint Germain producing, and released by SST Records in 1986.
