Out of all of Mike Patton’s many projects, Tomahawk might be most normal-sounding — which isn’t saying a whole lot. The Faith No More Mr. Bungle singer linked up with the Jesus Lizard’s Duane Denison, Melvins’ Kevin Rutmanis and Helmet’s John Stanier for a project that explored the outer edges of noisy alt-rock, and their 2001 debut might be the band’s most crucial document. Frisky, fickle and rockin’ in all the ways you’d expect from a Patton band, but just a little more streamlined.
