Angel Dust is the fourth studio album by American rock band Faith No More, released on June 8, 1992, by Slash and Reprise Records. It is the follow-up to 1989's highly successful The Real Thing, and was the band's final album to feature guitarist Jim Martin. It was also the first album where vocalist Mike Patton had any substantial influence on the band's music, having been hired after the other band members had written and recorded everything for The Real Thing except vocals and most of the lyrics. The band stated that they wanted to move away from the funk metal style of their prior releases, towards a more "theatrical" sound. In the United States, Angel Dust failed to match the commercial heights of The Real Thing. Upon release, it sold roughly 500,000 copies in the United States, while The Real Thing had been certified platinum in the United States for sales of over a million copies. However, in many other countries, it managed to outsell The Real Thing. Due to the international sales, it is Faith No More's best-selling album to date, having sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide.
