The Profile

Tomahawk is an American rock supergroup formed in 1999 by Mike Patton, Duane Denison, John Stanier, and Kevin Rutmanis. Trevor Dunn later joined on bass. Their albums include Tomahawk (2001), Mit Gas (2003), Anonymous (2007), Oddfellows (2013), and Tonic Immobility (2021).

Line-up links members of Faith No More/Mr. Bungle (Patton), The Jesus Lizard (Denison), Helmet/Battles (Stanier), and Melvins/Cows (Rutmanis), with Trevor Dunn joining later. Reviews highlight the debut’s dark punch, Mit Gas’s cohesion, Anonymous’s reworkings of late-1800s Native American songs, and Oddfellows’ hook-laced rock.

DeBaser’s reviews of Tomahawk span the debut’s shadowy punch, Mit Gas’s focused follow‑through, the Native American reworks of Anonymous, and the hooky heft of Oddfellows. Writers hail the band as a true supergroup and praise Patton’s vocal acrobatics, Denison’s sharp guitar work, and Stanier’s precision. Overall sentiment: enthusiastic and admiring.
