Mr. Bungle, who recently released their first album in over two decades, The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny Demo (lnk.to/MBWrath), have partnered with acclaimed Director Derek Cianfrance (“The Place Beyond The Pines,” “Blue Valentine”) for the band’s “Sudden Death” video.
"If you lived in Lakewood, Colorado, during the early 1990s, there’s a slim chance you would have seen and heard a 16 -year-old boy driving slowly around town in a white, 1974 Mustang II, with his windows rolled down, disrupting the neighborhood by blaring the music of Mr. Bungle. That 16-year-old kid was me, and that music that I listened to, over and over and over again, set the bar for my life as an artist,” explained Cianfrance. “So, 30 years later, when I got a call from Mike Patton asking me to direct a music video for one of the songs on their new album, The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny Demo, I questioned whether my life was really a dream... I informed Mike that I had never directed a music video before, but he wasn’t dissuaded. I listened to the album and asked if I could work with the song “Sudden Death.” It reminded me of the feelings of angst I carried throughout my youth while growing up in the shadow of a looming, forbidding thermonuclear war. I decided I could make a short film (well, not so short - the song is almost 8 min!) about these fears that haunted me. I was also interested in meditating on the theme of desensitization in modern society, where citizens are gradually and systemically numbed to the possibility of cataclysmic consequences. Since the song was written in the mid-‘80s, I determined that the video should feel like it was made during that time and imagined it as some sort of rediscovered relic. Shooting during a global pandemic proved a fitting backdrop to the malaise of the song. It also presented a unique challenge as I was too nervous to work with actors - so I had to come up with another solution. making this video with a small team of trusted collaborators, and working with my life-long heroes, was nothing short of a total dream come true."
Cianfrance and Patton came to know one another after working together on the 2013 film “The Place Beyond The Pines.” Cianfrance said, in an interview with Pitchfork, that once he shot the film, he knew the only person who should compose its score was Patton. Cianfrance has also incorporated music from Patton’s discography into his current project, HBO’s “I Know This Much Is True.”
“When we first worked together, he told me he was a fan, and I didn’t believe him,” said Patton. “Years later, he told me he gravitated to the most difficult tunes on Bungle records (“Dead Goon,” “Merry Go Bye Bye,” “Goodbye Sober Day”) so him choosing “Sudden Death” for this iteration of Bungle actually made perfect sense. The least commercial and longest song? That’s where his ears and eyes go.”

Mr. Bungle was formed in an impoverished lumber and fishing town by a trio of curious, volatile teenagers. Trey Spruance, Mike Patton and Trevor Dunn beget the amorphous “band” in 1985 up in Humboldt County, Calif., sifting through a variety of members until around 1989 when they settled on a lineup that managed to get signed to Warner Bros. Records. No one really knows how this happened and it remains a complete mystery that even the algorithms of the internet can’t decode. Up until 2000 they released three albums (Mr. Bungle in 1991, Disco Volante in 1995 and California in 1999), toured a good portion of the Western hemisphere and avoided any sort of critical acclaim. Some argue that the band subsequently broke up but there is also no proof of this. What is true is that they took 20 years off from performing under said moniker while they pursued various other musics that, in contrast, paid the rent.

Way back when Mike Patton first joined Faith No More,I made him a t-shirt w/ a bunch of dancing skeletons on it and gave it to him at a record store appearance earlier in the day. That night when I went to the show,he wore my t-shirt the entire show. What a swell guy!
Wholesome
@@leahharrington288 organic
Fuck around, he doesn't. True to himself, he is.
@@nowthatsfunny1 Fair Trade.
I threw a demo cd of mine on stage and he picked it up and put it in his pocket and said thanks. I thought that was cool
Listened to this song while vacuuming and now there's no carpet left
So you're saying it sucks like a black hole?
I was just headbanging and now there's no head left!
@@dallasbasham6810 life without head is no kind of life!
that's hilarious...
Haaaaaaahaahaaa!!
Some singers are versatile and can sing from the head, chest, and throat. Mike is the only singer I know that can sing from his taint. Very impressive.
Best comment I've ever heard about anything, EVER!
😂
Speaking of taints...
Taint that the truth.
Taint nuffem!!
A group of teenagers in the 80's write a thrash album that kicks the ass of most bands then, only to redo the same album 30yrs later and do it again. Ladies and Gentleman...Mr. Bungle.
Deciding to be a thrash band. Deciding there's enough thrash in the world, let's be a circus metal funk ska disco band. When the world lacks thrash 20years later... boom.
Death
@@edwardnavedo9682 And then there is even Secret Chiefs 3
and in between they were a circus funk metal band, made avantgarde noise elecontronica and the most beautiful album frank zappa and the beach boys never recorded together. what a band
th-cam.com/video/vZyLCq6vY9g/w-d-xo.html
Slayer...retires...
Mr Bungle...tag me in boys...
Mr. Bungle just became thrash legends
Global crisis, fear of nuclear annihilation, thrash metal - feels like we're in the 80s again.
@@lennonzamora5387 🤣 Best comment of 2020. Sorry. I'm stealing that.
@voi vod hopefully not a moronic conspiracy nut like some people. 😉😉😉
@voi vod it was way more likely under that erratic loon that was in the whitehouse for the past 4 years.
@@lennonzamora5387 Funny because the mask has prevented me from catching Covid twice now. Also the Flu is all but gone.
@voi vod yeah sure... an oligarchic mobster lobster lying geezer with dementia who believes in gay frogs and satanic conspiracies about baby eating socialists is less likely to kill us all than a bureaucratic democratic pencil pusher.
Listening to this song on the toilet and it scared all the poo back into me.
🤣
Not me I took one of the best shits in my life and thanks to this song for being so god damn loud it covered the noise😮
So old school thrash vibes, fkn nice!
Scott Ian and Dave Lombardo would be in my ultimate Thrash Dream team, add old school Bungle....... Hells Yeah!
my bungle was so diverse
Actuallity bungle is Bullshit, the real mr bungle is electronic, jazz, etnic, tecno, death metal, country,industrial, ska, reggeae, folk,punk etc
@@luisvalenzuela578 I'm not sure what you meant by this comment. This is the real mr. bungle. This album is a rerecording of their pre- studio demo.
@@luisvalenzuela578 piss off, dingus, this is THE REAL Bungle! The diverse stuff came AFTER this.
Loved this new Slayer album!.
Literally spit whiskey over my keyboard.
:( Sad
@@strend1 Literally spit whiskey over my keyboard.
Way better than slayer
back when slayer had mike as their frontman
Holy shit. Everything Patton touches turns to gold. Adding Lombardo and Ian...wow.
So very fuckn' true
Not the first band that Patton has had Lombardo in, either
Asked my boss for a raise after listening to this, now I'm CEO of the company
I can't wait until younger thrash metal fans hear Mr. Bungle's older stuff for the first time and their brains melt into sudden death.
Technically it's the earliest stuff by Mr. Bungle, just re-recorded with modern methods.
I was rocking out their first demo earlier... totally unaware of this new one...
Proceeded to shit my pants.
This is how I imagined Mr. bungle before I heard their first album back in the early 90s, them this came out and it's one of the heaviest albums I have ever heard...PERIOD!
Oldest / earliest…
Aren’t they both the same ?
I heard ‘strapping young lad ‘ in this.
I'm a southern Metalhead and almost 60 years old. I lived in one of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States in the 80s. Even so, I could not access great thrash metal unless, a metal band graced one of our venues.we were out of luck.
The record stores had a limited Supply and the radio stations offered us virtually nothing but, an am simulcast from Houston Texas of metal shop. Since the invention of the internet I have been in metal thrash heaven. And it just keeps getting better.
What about the different iterations of the NOLA scene(s)? Just curious.
@@magnus8376 I'm in Charlotte. We had a great live music scene but, an ample variety of recorded metal just did not exist. We eventually got an FM metal program in the late 80s but, it was only one weekend night. And it did not last .
There was no thrash metal on the radio here. And believe it or not there still isn't. You could hear power ballads on the popular radio stations but, that was it.
I saw Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Faith no more . . . my life was good
Just came through Perth. Did a mean cover of Territory too. Best Tuesday night out I've had in a while. 🤘
The 2020 Thrash album that 1986 never got! A killer album and Mr. Bungle is chock full o' my heroes...
Demo. Not recording.
@@BrunodeSouzaLino
The 2020 Thrash *demo that 1986 never got...
Toujours aussi excellent 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
They should have released this anonymously, just to confuse people.
hahaha, awesome!
Im confused that it is Mr. Bungle.
Can't hide that voice, or that riffing on guitar. No real mistaking it.
'90 Mr. Bungle playing avant-garde/experimental music.
2020' mr. bungle playing '80 music.
480p never looked this good
I've managed to bag a sweet deal on a brand new 480p Trinitron TV in the black friday sale, can't wait to watch this in its eye popping glory
480p and 4:3 ratio
VHS 4 LIFE
Mr. Bungle changed. And i like it. Like always
Hey man! Good to see you here haha
They changed back to what they started as.
These songs were wrote when Patton was in high school.
Isn't this album a remake of a very early mr. Bungle demo?
Lombardo
The scream from 6:31 to 6:38 has to be one of the most brutal things I have ever heard 🤘🏻
That's Mike Patton for ya. Fuckin legendary vocalist!
Look for "Moonchild"
You will be amazed
This is the first Mr Bungle song I've ever heard and I am blown away
Mr. Bungle, you have never disappointed.
Mr Bungle going back to 80's northern california thrash roots is great.Tight and chunky!
There is and there could be only one - Mr. Dave Lombardo!
Best 80's speed metal band -
Anthrax?
Metallica?
Slayer?
Nope.
Mr. Bungle
Who knew....lol
Whats funny is Mr Bungle now has one member from Anthrax and Slayer
@@Cerebraldoom Patton, Scott, Lombardo and I are all about the same age now and honestly I never expected any of us still doing this in our friggin fifties! But I guess I should be grateful for that and the music that defines the past 30 years of my life. 🤘🏻
@@Cerebraldoom With the best Thrash album of the year!
@@shambles6795 Trey or Trevor?
This makes me feel all warm and cozy inside.
Killer song. Art video. Mike Patton always brilliant !
I am so glad I appreciate real metal.
These dudes have gotten so heavy. Mike Patton will never fucking disappoint me, ever
EVER!!!
Once. Bjork. :-|
@@emilysfun3534 Bjork is incredible.
Adult themes for voice was utter and complete trash lol
@@briangueringer3673 Your mother
Reminds me of Nuclear Assault, 80s metal 🤘🔥💯
The person who edited this video deserves an award
Scott Ian and Dave Lombardo have those unmistakable sounds, whatever the project they are in.
Nailed it, buddy. To have created a signature style is far beyond most ever will achieve...
MASTERPIECE
This whole album is phenomenal.
on repeat in my car since release
Agree a death metal masterpiece 🤘🏼🥁🎸
I always wondered what would happen if Nuclear Assault, Sepultura and D.R.I. had a three way...
I can now die complete.
Mr. Bungle's new album is simply amazing.
This is amazing old school with plenty of modern power and energy. Just hearing this for the first time and can’t wait to blast it from the speakers tomorrow
Now THIS is a music video. Couldn’t take my eyes off the screen
I'm awake for 26 hours straight. And not sleepy anymore. Love the Slayer style of riffs and drums. Thrash magic
After watching Sudden Death, I checked my Blood Pressure, and it was extremely elevated. Very rarely has music effected me physically. I like it .
LOL at the people saying this isn't "Classic" sounding Mr. Bungle. It's a rerecording of their FIRST album. This is the most classic Mr. Bungle you can get.
I have this song on side two of a Disco Volante 45 from 1995.
They clearly managed to do exactly what they wanted. They didn't wanna do a normal cliche comeback with a California 2.0. They wanted to come back with something totally different and with something that people didn't want to hear lol. This album is fucking great
@@wm1573 I would've loved a California 2.0 though
I loved the range of musical/lyrical genre blending on that album
Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy with this unexpected return, and it
Just goes to show, don't get comfortable with Mike Patton.
NO ONE knows what he's gonna do next...and I can't wait!
@@brye687 yes obviously I agree, but I respect the fact that they don't want to do the obvious
All of their albums sound very different from each other too, so there's no classic sound to maintain
Sure, it might be their first but the word "classic" doesn't mean old or oldest. It means something of lasting worth or something you expect. It most definitely ISN'T classic Bungle as it's not the sound people remember because they made it worthy and expect. It's just very early Bungle. So cool if you dig it, and good on them for doing what they wanted but the people saying it's not "classic Bungle" (and I haven't been one of them until now) are correct.
I dig the sound. Very 80's metal. Hell yeah 🤘🏽
Probably best album of 2020 for me
I love the change!!!!
This is INSAAAAANE!!!!
Mr Bungle needs to be in OBSCENE EXTREME FESTIVAL!
So old school I felt 30 years younger listening to this! GD amazing! Video is stellar!
Yes! I am going to headbang to this song like I was 25 years younger!
Ooooooo this song is everything
Those mannequins show more emotion than most people.
Lovely sweet Ballad.
This sounds like mid 80s metal, even the music video look and vibe. This is incredible.
Just one fix vibe
Cause it is.
I always thought Mr Bungle was a funk band
This song is from 1986.
Dave proves here that he is still the best drummer on the planet. The video is also one of the best that I've seen in my entire life.
Dave and danny carey are the two goats lol
Derek Cianfrance is an incredible filmmaker. Innovative take on a stock footage music video too. Using mannequins speaks to 2020 social distancing and the whole clip to the cold war. 80s Bungle in 2020. Kind of meta. I do wish that end credit stayed inline with the Halloween special and said" "This version of Mr Bungle is...." though
yeah, I thought the exact same thing. He must spend a lot of time on archive.org
this one should really come with an epilepsy warning lol, I probably wont watch it again and stick to the recording, some scary subject matter. Very well done though
Yeap, i love Blue Valentine
shout out to his longtime editor Jim Helton as well
@@petrussteele9837 Place Beyond The Pines, too 👍
This album is perfect final conclusion for Bungle, especially after “California,” which is still my fav album but it’s awesome to hear this so well produced!
Yeah it didn't feel right with California being their last album, but if they didn't make any more music after recording this I'd be cool. This would be the perfect bow on their legacy.
Saw the aspect ratio and immediately thought - yes, I'm in.
Same!
Yea it is done very well. I use cinema aspect ratios but I try to make it look like old film and VHS too.
VHS FOR LIFE
This is my first Mr. Bungle song I heard scott Ian talk about them and I had to stop by and I do not regret
Can't believe I haven't heard this band before. I have listened to thrash metal since it began. Dave Lombardo is a beast.
Easy, they weren't a thrash metal band before this record hehe
@@benjaminquintana1198 Actually this album is a remake of a demo tape from 1986. They were originally a thrash band.
@@redrumloa 😱 LoL
This is fucking magic. Cheers MrBungle. Lovin yer work!
The same fears never go away they just evolve...
Nice to see new material from S.O.D
Now because of me ,my neighbor's have been listening to Mr Bungle all day
One of my favorite bands from childhood, back to save the day.
This is sick!!
Awesome
I just recently learned who mike Patton is and I like that guy a lot and I really dig this album
Album of the year and decade(s)
Grimace sent me here. Good taste in music!
This is very effective video for this particular song.
This album has such a brilliant sound. Every Bungle album does, but the thrash element on this, thanks to Scott an Dave, is amazing!!!!
No thanks to Trey he wrote most of it, they just played on it.
Loving the new Mr. BUNGLE.
Like the video, this album is extremely brutal
soco no estômago..
Brvtal
Incredible
Wow,amazing thrash metal sound from Mr. Bungle..fantastic drum playing from lombarbo..great song..
One of the greatest band ever! Hail experimental metal! 🤘
This is just thrash though but yeah their other albums are just every genre mashed together
I can't stop listening to this album. So many damn good albums came out this year and I'm neglecting them cause I can't stop listening to mr bungle. Lombardo drumming is amazing on this album (like it usually is)
Trey deserves a guitar world cover
Incredible track, and that drummer is absolutely slaying it!
Yeah right, Dave Lombardo from Slayer is the drummer ;-)
Very clever
Great.........I can relax for another 30 years :)
So good! Loving this album more with each listen.
Me too, man. Every time I spin the CD I hear more things that I love!
Bungle's first album changed my playing and opened doors to genres I didn't even know existed, but their first demo showed that their genius was firmly rooted in thrash. Major props to them recruiting two of the best thrash musicians of all time and giving it the quality recording it's always deserved. 🤘
I could almost feel my face melt. I can't wait til my new merch arrives tommorow.
So good...🖤🍻🖤🍻
This song and video is a work of art!
To the roots, Patton!! Looooooooove that double bass.. gets me right in the feels.
My introduction to Mr. Bungle was a buddy handing me the self-titled album and saying, "It's a 70 minute mind-fuck, you'll like it."
He was correct on both accounts
Epic....period.
I am frigin loving mr bungles new stuff 😍
Old/new stuff.
Brutal and relentless,....CLASSIC!!!!!
Slayer retired, Mr. Bugle took their place-- respect!
Mr. Bungle/S.O.D. music to my ears
This song was intense, but calming watching the video. Strange.
Can't believe this doesn't have more views.
This is the best thing EVER!!!
I don't know how to like this more
2020 hasnt been a complete waste, thank you mr bungle🖤
Mr Bungle are amazing. Great band.
This is the best slayer album by far
