Unforgiving. Merciless. Beautiful.
BUNUEL is heavy.
A literal supergroup of global significance, BUNUEL boasts the singular vocals and razor sharp lyrics of Eugene S. Robinson (OXBOW) and a powerhouse trio comprised of guitarist Xabier Iriondo (AFTERHOURS, A SHORT APNEA), bassist David Haemery (SORDIDE) and drummer Franz Valente (IL TEATRO DEGLI ORRORI).
Formed in 2016, but coming to the fore in late 2024 with the release of their fourth album (and SKiN GRAFT Records / OVERDRIVE Records debut), BUÑUEL is the sound of a difficult situation made worse by an unwillingness and an inability to play nice. If slotting it in a genre makes it easier to understand, mark it down as Heavy. With a capital H.
BUNUEL have always been led by instinct and the id-like impulse to express unfiltered emotion through song. They form a close musical alliance, with a seemingly innate ability to create music that warps and buckles with complexity, freedom, tenderness and primaeval energy all at once.
The title of their fourth album, "Mansuetude" - meaning "meekness" or "gentleness" - might seem like a juxtaposition. The record is, in Eugene's words "extreme but articulate". A double album with three sides. A balancing act performed for and by the unbalanced.
Throughout, BUNUEL take every opportunity to stretch their musical tendrils towards discomfort, surrealism and the deconstruction of tradition, as they reach absolute abandon. "Mansuetude" dives into the eye of the storm and beyond, encompassing many moods, from post-hardcore to avant-noise, hard blues to post-industrial, from symphonic thrash to metal to free-jazz, all played at great cost.
BUNUEL makes music for those willing to take a closer, unflinching look at the depths of human instinct, and on "Mansuetude: the band have created an album that will free the listener of evil spirits and let the malignant influences loose. "Mansuetude" is a twenty- first century exorcism - right on time for the end time. |
