FAITH NO MORE made its reunion official with a statement sent by bassist Bill Gould to BLABBERMOUTH.NET. Speculation about the band's reactivation reached a fever pitch in recent weeks, with the rumors all but confirmed in a press release issued by singer Mike Patton's publicist last week. In his statement, Gould wrote in part, "Throughout our 17 years of existence, the mental and physical energy required to sustain this creature was considerable and relentless. Though amicable enough, when we finally split, we all followed paths seemingly destined to opposite ends of the universe. Yet during the entire 10 years that have passed since our decision to break up we've experienced constant rumors and requests from fans and promoters alike. Nevertheless, for whatever reason, none of us kept in regular touch, much less to discuss any possibilities of getting together."
