Experimental supergroup Fantômas — Faith No More’s Mike Patton, Melvins guitarist Buzz Osborne, Slayer skinsman Dave Lombardo and Mr. Bungle bassist Trevor Dunn — set the bar high with a self-titled avant thrashterpiece. With 2001’s The Director’s Cut, they moved from original songs towards covering some of the movie world’s most recognizable theme songs — yet performed with an abstract heaviness unique to them. From blast-crazed and machine-gunning salutes to The Godfather, to the Mondo cane metal-waltzing of “Charade,” to the haunted house trip-hopping “Spider Baby,” The Director’s Cut demands a Cannes-style standing ovation through every spin. Widescreen mania, slabbed on old-school black wax.
