Mr. Bungle will release its first new album in 21 years, a revisited, re-recorded version of thier 1986 demo. The new record comes on out Ipecac Recordings on Oct. 30 and is titled The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny Demo. The lineup for this new version of old cuts features Trevor Dunn, Mike Patton and Trey Spruance, plus Scott Ian and Dave Lombardo. 

In the lead single, "Raping Your Mind" (below), those thrash metal chops are on display.

The 11-song album features new recordings and renditions of songs written for the group's 1986 demo. It follows the band's first live shows in nearly 20 years, which also were centered around the early demo. The album also features two unique covers: S.O.D.;s “Hypocrites / Habla Español O Muere” (a.k.a. “Speak English or Die”) and Corrosion of Conformity’s “Loss For Words.”
