Angel Dust was recorded at Capitol Studios in Hollywood and One on One Recording Studios in Los Angeles during 1991-1992, with production by Faith No More and Matt Wallace, who had also worked with the band on their previous album The Real Thing. The album was engineered by Tog Smillie and featured innovative production techniques that blended multiple genres including heavy metal, funk, hip-hop, and progressive rock. Recording took place during a period of significant creative confidence for the band following their mainstream breakthrough, allowing for experimental approaches to songwriting and arrangement. The sessions were characterized by the band's collaborative approach to composition, with various members contributing ideas that were then refined and integrated into the final arrangements. Released in 1992, Angel Dust became a critical and commercial success, establishing Faith No More as one of the most adventurous and genre-defying bands of the era.
