HATEBEAK



The only death metal grindcore band with an avian vocalist.
Their MySpace features such songs as "Beak of Putrefaction", "God of Empty Nest", and "Feral Parot" (sic). For the record, the Congo African Grey parrot is named Waldo, and I really can't stop laughing. For extra points, they're from Victoria. Power to the locals! Weirdly, here's a really good interview with them.

found thanks to andrew.

Also, as a bonus, an equally fantastic headline: Dog-cloner denies she was Mormon sex kidnapper Joyce McKinney.

Please let it not be a joke. Please please please... I really want it to exist, and I want the parrot to have a little tiny leather jacket... and I want to buy the singles...

They do exist, though without the leather jacket.

"Feral Parot" hahhhahahahahaha.

Did you see that they're planning on doing a double-album with Caninus, the thrash metal band with two dogs as their vocalists??

[sleepsleep.livejournal.com]

I didn't know that dogs liked thrash metal....

I remember.. one of the Bad Livers albums has a song of an old hound dog making alot of noise.

Reminds me of Southern Culture on the Skid's album Dirt Track Date, one of their songs is all NASCAR noise.

Listening to HATEBEAK now... I'm not sure what it says about the genre, but Waldo doesn't sound that much different than other grindcore vocalists. He's good, I'll give him that.

I think that's part of what makes it perfect. Except for a few moments of definitive bird-sound, it's seamless.

I have the same kind of parrot, and he engages in headbanging but does not know the words to any metal songs. He does whistle the Imperial March, though.


If you are wondering the the heck I am, I participated in the recent M-A "say hi" poll/post and decided to peek over here and possibly friend you. Hope you don't mind.

Oh dear. I sort of want to witness that. I'll bet it surprises the heck out of people who aren't forewarned.

And hi! New people are always welcome! The more the merrier, I figure, especially from dear Mr. Macon.
