Album Description
Available in:
The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny Demo is the fourth studio album by Northern California-based band Mr. Bungle, released on October 30, 2020, through Ipecac Recordings.

Background
This is a re-recording of the band's first self-released demo tape of the same name from 1985. It's their first album to be released in over 20 years. It's also the first album to feature former Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo and Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian.

Promotion
The band announced shortly after the reunion tour, they would be in the studio working on a re-recording of the demo that was performed in its entirety (with the exception of "Evil Satan") along with the three unrecorded songs in an interview with Revolver Magazine.

On August 13, 2020, the band revealed the album and the first single "Raping Your Mind" with a music video posted on YouTube. This was followed by the release of a second single, and music video, for the song "Eracist" on September 24, 2020.

On October 23, 2020, the band released the closing track "Sudden Death" for streaming.

User Album Review
Most people outside of California first came across Mr. Bungle when vocalist Mike Patton joined Faith No More in 1988. While the latter became one of the most totemic outfits of the day, Bungle got on with releasing three albums of absolutely batshit experimental rock, typically sounding like a carnival being haunted by ska bands and avant-jazz saxophonists. In hell.

In their earliest incarnation, however, they were essentially a thrash metal band, albeit one which favoured irreverent humour over furrowed-brow machismo. And it’s to these roots that a reanimated Bungle have returned – quite literally. As the name suggests, The Raging Wrath Of The Easter Bunny Demo is a rerecording of their debut tape, with a couple of genuine thrash heroes now in the band. One can only wonder what the teenage incarnation of Mr. Bungle would make of the fact that, 34 years later, Scott Ian and Dave Lombardo would be in the studio with them recreating evergreen classics like Anarchy Up Your Anus and Spreading The Thighs Of Death.


Like everything Mr. Bungle have done, this return to first principles regularly slamdances over the line between stupidity and genius. The timeless appeal of crossover thrash is absolutely nailed, but you’re never far from an entertaining blast of utter foolishness, best captured when Hypocrites interpolates both traditional Spanish standard La Cucuracha and S.O.D’s Speak English Or Die. Grown men revisiting their youthful hijinks should be a terrible idea or, to borrow an FNM title, a midlife crisis. Instead, this record is an absolute rager, testament to both the original material and the present-day dedication of its lunatic creators.
