Ok seems to sum up this project. I find nothing offensive about the tracks so far, nor do they really fill me with any level of excitement.

Sounds like Faith No More (sans Patton) could be doing some shows with Chuck Mosely, presumably to celebrate the reissue (and anniversaries) of Introduce Yourself and We Care Alot:

Further info on above - looks like it's a couple of shows Chuck Mosely & 'Friends' (I imagine using Faith No More might have some legal/record label implications they'd like to avoid):

Mike Patton joins "supergroup" Dead Cross:
Now, his newest high-profile collaboration has been announced: also a supergroup, but catered toward metal and hardcore fans rather than indie and alt-rock devotees. Dead Cross is a supergroup featuring former Slayer drummer and co-founder Dave Lombardo (also of Fantomas, the Misfits and Suicidal Tendencies), Justin Pearson (of the Locust and Retox), and Michael Crain (also of Retox, and Festival of Dead Deer).
The band has been around since last year, but according to a press release, Patton has just come on board as lead singer, replacing former vocalist Gabe Serbian (The Locust, Cattle Decapitation, Holy Molar). He is working with the band on a new album, to be released next year on Patton’s own independent label Ipecac Recordings.

Yeah, a little more vanilla than I'd have liked, but will wait and see how the rest of the album pans out.

No, there's literally no song in the link you posted...

Ah ok, they must have taken it down. Will see if someone was smart enough to grab it and put it on Youtube...
Update: The answer is yes!

Hmm. The jury is out on this one.

Another track from the Dead Cross album. It's better than the last one, but I'm finding Patton's vocals, especially in the first half as waaaaay to high in the mix. I thought the second half of the track was pretty good. Overall, not sure that the style of music really suits Patton's vocals.
The obvious comparison here is the Dillinger Escape Plan EP Patton guested on. That EP worked really well because he mixed up the vocal styles a bit, this time it seems a lot more vanilla
I think this will be an ok album, but I don't have super high hopes at this point in time.
