The re-recording of Mr. Bungle's high school 1986 demo will be released just in time for Halloween via Ipecac Recordings on October 30th. In February Mike Patton, Trey Spruance and Trevor Dunn reformed their childhood band to perform songs from their very first death metal demo cassette The Raging Wrath Of The Easter Bunny. The original members enlisted the help of genre legends Dave Lombardo and Scott Ian to help resurrect the faded almost un-listenable songs and give them n

Mr. Bungle's first self-titled album was released on August 13th 1991. Mr. Bungle is, "...any kind of asshole, murderer, dickhead, loser, geek, whatever." - Spruance 1991 "Anybody who's teased to the point of hanging themselves is Mr. Bungle." - Dunn 1991 "... the ultimate Mr. Bungle would be anyone who hung themselves with their mother's underwear in order to achieve higher orgasm." - Spruance 1991 In 1991 most the sane world had not any music by Mr. Bungle despite every pr

When you encounter the gaggle of lunatics who make up insane San Francisco metallers Mr. Bungle, just don't mention the F-word. There's no funk here, insist Mike Patton and his cohorts -- just a lot of John Zorn-produced weirdness, not to mention masturbation. But will the spectre of Faith No More hinder the unbalanced sextet forever, wonders MIKE GITTER, or will they manage to duck the contractual hassles and be left to their own devices -- that is, whiffing their own farts?

After 20,000 votes Faith No More come out on top in the quarter final results of our Patton deathmatch. We wanted to represent the entirety of Mike Patton's musical catalogue in this debate so of course we included his records with FNM - the band has decimated the opposition and it seems sure we will have a FNM final. Disco Volante 62% VS The Director's Cut 38% This was a good battle, possibly one of the most balanced in this ridiculous competition. Just remind us - who's ide

Mr. Bungle's third studio album California was released twenty one years ago on July 13th 1999. In the year Mike Patton's music took many creative twists and the man of 1000 voices began a journey with Ipecac Recordings, he was part of the third album by Mr. Bungle. This album is arguably Mr. Bungle's greatest, California is certainly one of the singer's most genius works. It is layered with a multitude of genre and styles, perfect instrumentation and loaded with enough intel

Members of Mr. Bungle have confirmed that they have re-recorded their 1985 demo with Scott Ian and Dave Lombardo We have been speculating for the last few weeks since the live Raging Wrath Of The Easter Bunny shows that Mr. Bungle were in fact in the studio recording the tracks for an updated release. Now the band have given Revolver the exclusive news that they're re-recording The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny, along with a selection of covers and three previously un-reco

It’s no secret that Mike Patton likes to stay active, but with countless projects on the go could this year be the most Patton-tastic ever? In late 2019 Patton’s manager and partner in crime at Ipecac, Greg Werckman, told us the man of a thousand voices "had never been busier". So far this statement is proving to be accurate. Just yesterday Michael Crain, guitarist for Dead Cross, shared two pictures on social media of himself and Patton with the caption “Like two kids in a

Rumours have been circulating that the recent live line up of Mr. Bungle will re-record their 1985 demo cassette Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny Have we now got concrete evidence? As Scott Ian posts a picture on social media of himself playing a Baritone guitar through a Plasma pedal. We can clearly see from the painting of Dave Grohl on the wall that he is indeed at Studio 606 in Northridge California. Also that is Trey Spruance's Guitar in the background, and possibly Trey

All Techies, Codgers, Millennials and LGBTQs welcome to thrash! No Rambos. I attended the final Mr. Bungle show on September 9th at Rock City in Nottingham twenty years ago. So when it was announced that they would return in 2020 - fate, destiny or a very understanding wife decided I would be at one of these shows. It was my life-long curiosity of San Francisco, the city that gave birth to and nurtured FNM, that determined which show. It is fascinating how fans of Bungle hail

Celebrated composer of film scores Danny Elfman attended the third Mr. Bungle show in Los Angeles on Friday and shared a photo on instagram with some complimentary words on Patton. Mr. Bungle show last night! Really amazing. Mike Patton is insane. (Insanely talented!) I'd love to steal his voice. I know there are others who can sing with the ferocity of an angry grizzly bear seized by the spirit of a psychopathic banshee... and there are others who can also croon with the ver

Trevor Dunn tweets that Mr. Bungle will premiere three songs from the 'Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny' era. Mr. Bungle's twitter feed has been rather busy in the lead up to February's run of 'Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny' shows.
