Wings Of Destruction: Listen to the new single from parrot-fronted metal band Hatebeak


Hatebeak, the metal band fronted by a 21-year-old African grey parrot named Waldo — no, seriously — has dropped a new track in advance of news that Reptilian Records will drop LP Number Of The Beak on June 26. The record will be Reptilian’s 100th release, reports Blabbermouth.

Listen to the previously unreleased song “Seven Perches” via the Reptilian Soundcloud page below.

Number Of The Beak was mastered by Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer, Agoraphobic Nosebleed) and will be issued on compact disc, cassette, and limited vinyl runs that includes 300 copies “on a special Bird Shit black/white/clear color mix.

More from Blabbermouth:

Featuring a sure-to-be controversial cover by artist Stephen Kasner, one side of the vinyl collects all of HATEBEAK’s long out-of-print EPs from 2004-2007 while the other side features six never-released songs, the first new avian-metal to surface in eight years!

HATEBEAK formed in Baltimore, Maryland in 2003. During their initial existence, they were a studio project shrouded in mystery. In recent years it has become public knowledge that HATEBEAK was the brainchild of Blake Harrison (who is now in PIG DESTROYER) with Mark Sloan (THE INDEX) and Waldo, a 21-year-old African grey parrot. Within months, the first HATEBEAK recording, “Beak Of Putrefaction”, surfaced on Reptilian Records.

The AV club has even jumped into this nonsense, writing: “Parrots have long been relegated to menial communication: echoing sentiments about popcorn and crackers or, at best, doing adorable covers of other people’s terrible music. But now it is the parrot’s time to shine!”
