Dead Cross is a new project being spearheaded by the Thrash Metal God Dave Lombardo already involving Justin Pearson (The Locust, Retox, Head Wound City) and Michael Crain (Retox, Festival Of Dead Deer). There have been some slight rumblings coming out of the Dead Cross camp that they were looking for a vocalist to join the group and they've gone straight for the very top, adding the legendary Faith No More vocalist Mike Patton in to the ranks. Patton and Lombardo working together? Kind of thing usually only thought up in a game of 'name your dream band line-up'.

The band are currently in the studio working on their debut album with an early 2017 release date currently being touted. The record will be released via Ipecac Recordings with more details promised early on in the new year. In the meantime here's a really big picture of Mike Patton looking mischievous:
