Notes:
"bunsenburner, the genre-defying collective known for their experimental and improvisational prowess, is set to release their much-anticipated EP, "Squall", on May 3rd, 2024. The release, available through bensnburner records, marks a significant milestone in the band's journey, capturing the essence of their sound in a condensed, powerful form.
"Squall" emerges as a rich tapestry of stoner rock, sludge metal, and doom metal, showcasing bunsenburner's ability to traverse musical landscapes with a newfound precision and focus. Unlike their previous works, this EP distills the band's expansive sonic palette into a more concentrated expression of their artistic vision, revealing the depth and breadth of their musical explorations.
The EP was recorded in an intense, single-day session, a deliberate choice that kept the band laser-focused on the musical direction of bensnburner's frontman, Ben Krahl. This concentrated effort was not without its challenges; a neighbor's vehement protests against the noise became an unexpected part of the day's narrative, inadvertently inspiring the EP's title, "Squall".
Despite these interruptions, the band persevered, their commitment unwavering, driven by a collective ambition to encapsulate their dynamic sound within the constraints of a single day's recording. This experience not only tested but ultimately strengthened the unity and resolve of the band, serving as a testament to their artistic integrity and dedication.
In alignment with their goal to connect more deeply with their audience and the live music scene, bunsenburner views "Squall" as a catalyst for an extensive tour, aiming to bring their electrifying performances to stages across the globe. Furthermore, in a move that underscores their innovative spirit, the band has made the entire EP available as a video of the recording session, offering fans a raw, unfiltered glimpse into the creation of "Squall".
"Squall" is not just an EP; it's a declaration of bunsenburner's evolved sound and an invitation to experience the intensity of their music in its most pure and unadulterated form. Join bunsenburner on this sonic journey and be part of the unfolding saga that is "Squall"."
