"Tomahawk" is the debut album by Mike Patton's supergroup of the same name. The album is somewhat of a concept album, documenting the events, emotions, and psychology of a serial killer. The opening track, "Flashback" is chronologically the final part of the story. In this track the serial killer is in session with a hypnotherapist, regressing to his childhood where the traumas and experiences which would shape his future crimes are explored. Each other track represents a different stage in the vicious cycle that many psychologists believe serial killers fall into before finally being caught in "Laredo".
