Fantômas

Fantômas is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of The Locust, Locust, Faith No More, Mr. Bungle and Melvins. Those roots explain a lot about how Fantômas arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Les Claypool, Manes, Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band, Les Claypool And The Holy Mackerel and OOIOO, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Tool, Mastodon, Between the Buried and Me, Slipknot and Mushroomhead, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 21 connections around Fantômas, reaching back through The Locust and forward to Tool. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
