Thanks for this article! I had no idea Suspended Animation is already turning 20. Wow.
The first time I saw Fantomas was way back in December 1999 at the Metro in Chicago. It was mind boggling. Their first record had only been out a few months and the material was still really fresh.
I remember there were a lot of old-school thrash / Slayer fans in the crowd that were very confused. Many left early or heckled / booed the band.
Also, while I love the video you posted of the 2005 Montroux show, it's worth noting that Lombardo wasn't in the band for that show. Terry Bozzio was sitting in.

Love this record and I agree wholeheartedly that Fantômas was the best Patton project.
I think it's important to mention Lomardo's work in The Cremaster Cycle any time there's an opportunity.
