Like most thrash metal bands of the 80s, Mr. Bungle trained in a poor town dedicated to wood and fishing, by a trio of curious and explosive adolescents. Trey Spruance, Mike Patton and Trevor Dunn They gave rise to this amorphous band in 1985, in Humboldt County, California, through several members until around 1989 they achieved more stable training, solid enough to sign Warner Bros. Records.
No one knows very well how that happened, and it is still a complete mystery that neither the Internet algorithms can decipher. Until 2000 they took three albums, turned for a good part of the western hemisphere and avoided any type of recognition by critics. Some say that the band separated later, but there is also no concrete evidence of that. What is true is that 20 years passed without touching under that name, while each one continued with other musical projects that, in comparison, allowed them to pay the rent.
Although Bungle constantly modified his compositions – incorporating exotic instruments such as the saxophone, synthesizers or even timbales, they never lost their foot in the mosh pit of their youth and always maintained some kind of link with the metal. Even in his last millennium tours they played songs of his first demo, that self -produced amateur jewel The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny (1986).
The attraction to return to the metal was too strong to resist, and the idea of re -recording that primitive demo emerged, giving the presentation and precision that the music deserved from the beginning. Sprunce, Patton and Dunn decided to go directly to the source – the Big Four, of course – and chose by finger the two types that could help them carry out this project with the greatest possible brutality. Without thinking twice, they invited Scott Ian and Dave Lombardo And they got fully into music. In 2020, The recording of The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny Demo was completed in about 10 days, after a series of exhausted shows before Covid.
As it was a kind of return home after 35 years, releeping and re -registering the demo felt completely new, and they could enjoy it objectively, in addition to being revitalized by the presence of two teachers like Ian and Lombardo. Mr. Bungle managed to maintain the crudeness and severity of the original demo without too much adornment, letting music speak for itself, with all intact teenage fury.
In addition to the themes that were in the original edition (only in Cassette), for the first time three songs of the same era were recorded that had never come to light. With this new album – the first in 20 years – Mr. Bungle proclaims himself as the last missing piece in the Pentagon of the Big Five.
