Fantômas is the debut album by Mike Patton's supergroup by the same name, and the first album released on Ipecac Recordings. The cover depicts the Spanish poster for the 1965 French movie Fantômas se déchaîne, translated in Spanish as Fantômas amenaza al mundo (Fantômas threatens the world). Because of this, some people refer to this album as Amenaza al Mundo; however, it is officially self-titled.

Album details

Track 13 is not listed, as 13 is considered an unlucky number. There is no song on this track, simply the fading out of a cymbal from Page 12.^{[citation needed]} The Director's Cut, the next Fantômas album, also has silence in place of track 13.

The album serves as a soundtrack to a comic book.^{[citation needed]}
