Buñuel

The band formed by Eugene Robinson (Oxbow), Xabier Iriondo, Frank Valente (Il Teatro Degli Orrori) and David Haemery (Sordide), is characterized by a turbulent-noise rock and they’re more than ready to start a new chapter of their musical journey. After 3 records, the last one released in 2022, the band signed for Overdrive Records.
A new milestone is going to be released on 2024.

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 for you to understand, just so you have something to file it under, mark it down as Heavy. With a capital H.

But not heavy that’s in any way predictable, BUÑUEL’s amalgam of angular rhythms, drum salvos, blitzkrieging guitars and vocals that sound more like threats than promises is post-punk, proto heavy and arty up the ass. Arty as in avant-garde noise.

Named after the Spanish filmmaker Luis Buñuel, the only filmmaker to first make his bones by making good on what happens when straight razors meet eyeballs. About BUÑUEL’s newest Mansuetude, Eugene said “It’s probably our good fortune that the record Mansuetude, coming to us in a dream as it was, continues with the Bunuelian darkscapes of failure, and fixed revenge. Really iD based horror”.

Produced by New York based well known producer: Timo Ellis.
The near-super group of global significance BUÑUEL boasts the sound work of the guitarist Xabier Iriondo (Afterhours), the bass of David Haemery (Sordide, Iffernet), and the drums of Francesco Valente (Snare Drum Exorcism), along with the vocals of Eugene S. Robinson (OXBOW).

Eugene S. Robinson, vocals, lyricist has spent the last 30 plus years with American art terrorists OXBOW.

Xabier is the deus-ex-machina of most adventurous musical projects as both guitarist and sound manipulator for dozens of bands on more than 50 records with major and independent labels whose work has seen him playing live on three continents. And counting.

Franz Valente, composer, percussionist, improviser and sound extremist, is a vital slice of the rock band Il Teatro Degli Orrori.

A development that will let them play well beyond the previous tours European stomping grounds.
