"The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny" is a tape-only self-released album by Mr. Bungle. Today it is a rare collector's item. It was mixed by Trey Spruance during the Easter of 1986.

On this record one can hear Mr. Bungle's original roots as a death metal band, but the album already showcases bits of the group's later style: "Hypocrites" fuses elements of heavy metal with parts of "La Cucaracha" and the "Peter Gunn" theme, while "Evil Satan" is predominantly funk rock.

Mr. Bungle used to incorporate the songs of this album into a closing-medley at live shows.

The album title is a reference to the time which began the mixing of the album (mixing began around Easter) and the genre of it (death metal).

One track ("Raping Your Mind") was eventually released by Warner Bros. on a 1994 promo titled "Trademark Of Quality".
