Fantômas is an alternative metal (dubbed dada-metal by one [1]) band formed by singer Mike Patton, guitarist King Buzzo, bass guitarist Trevor Dunn and drummer Dave Lombardo. Patton named the group after Fantômas, a villain featured in a series of crime novels popular in France before World War I.
Fantômas are unique in several ways: Patton rarely sings conventional lyrics with the group, preferring his own bizarre style of voice music or scat singing. They have also recorded an album of motion picture theme music.
