THE BEAST

Matt Young of   KING PARROT   has this to say about the new track: “When we came up with this song, it was distinctly different to anything we had written previously on any of our records. It has an up-tempo groove that reminded me of an AC/DC riff if it was played by a grind or hardcore band. My head was busy trying to write lyrics for the other tracks, and this one through me a curve ball. Luckily we had our ol’ mate and one of the most prolific heavy metal vocalists of all time Phil Anselmo lounging around in the studio. He accepted the challenge to write and direct the lyrics and also add some vocals in for good measure. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did writing and recording it.”

Appreciated for their unique blend of thrashy, punked out grindcore that spawned nominations for   Metal Hammer Golden Gods   and   ARIA   awards, the five-piece returns with a blistering material of 4 tracks. The EP was recorded with engineer   Steve "Big Fella" Berrigan   ( Down ,   Eyehategod ) at   Nodferatu’s Lair   (Louisiana, USA) with the simple attitude of: "4 days, 4 tracks, write em’, record em’ and be done with it…". The band explains more: "Usually King Parrot always try to write music together in the same room, but that just hasn’t been possible for us because of the lockdown. We were planning on re-working these tracks for a new album eventually, but when all the restrictions came about, we thought why not get these tracks out there as a special limited edition 7” release?. We think King Parrot fans will be happy with these tracks, it’s rude, loud, fast and grimey and we poured our heart and soul into them; there’s no doubting its unabashedly KP!”
