Unforgiving. Merciless. Beautiful. BUÑUEL is heavy. Composed & recorded by a literal supergroup of global significance, BUÑUEL boasts the singular vocals and razor sharp lyrics of Eugene S. Robinson (ex-OXBOW) and a powerhouse Italian trio comprised of guitarist Xabier Iriondo (AFTERHOURS, A SHORT APNEA), bassist Andrea Lombardini and drummer Franz Valente. BUÑUEL 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, “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, BUÑUEL 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 metal to free-jazz, all played at great cost. BUÑUEL 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. Guests include Jacob Bannon (lead singer of CONVERGE), guitarist Duane Denison (The JESUS LIZARD, TOMAHAWK, The DENISON KIMBALL TRIO) and vocalist Megan Osztrosits (COUCH SLUT). Gatefold Double album pressed on "Hard Smoked" Vinyl and includes a Full Color Poster, "Footlong: OBI and comes complete with an etching on Side Four of the double LP.
