  • Description

    Bilbao Syndrome, a liberating sonic blast of contemporary metal and jazz skronk, is an avant underground supergroup featuring two members of Leeds-based death jazzers Trio-VD (guitarist Chris Sharkey and drummer Chris Bussey), internationally renowned jazz keyboard enfant terrible Matthew Bourne, John Zorn-esque noiseniks trio Minghe Morte's (with Chris Bussey) bassist/leader Colin Sutton and thoroughly imposing frontman vocalist and acidic wordsmith Andrew Plummer of World Sanguine Report.
    Bourne formed Bilbao Syndrome in 2007 starting a partnership with drummer Chris Bussey before the intensity and scale of their vision made it necessary to hire extra members. Clad in white, skin tight outfits, mirrored avia- tor sunglasses and powerfully lit with only UV lights; their live show is not for the faint-hearted. Yet Bilbao Syndrome has built up a strong and wide-ranging UK cult following. They now release their long awaited debut CD/vinyl on the Babel Label: Bilbao Syndrome I-VI, a confrontational and cathartic piece of work that seeks to combine the more extreme elements of metal, jazz and tightly structured composition, with Matthew Bourne writing the lion's share of the themes.
