Australian extreme metal behemoths KING PARROT will release their long-awaited new full-length, “A Young Person’s Guide To”, on June 6 via Housecore Records in North America.”A Young Person’s Guide To” marks KING PARROT’s first new output in five years. A hostile and abrasive slab of sensory destroying anthems, the record features ten thoroughly crafted blasts through the psyche of this crazed Aussie quintet. Recorded at Melbourne’s Dangertone studios with engineer Luke Walton, it’s the first full-length album since 2017’s critically adored “Ugly Produce” offering and their first new music since 2020’s “Holed Up In The Lair” EP.Applying a similar approach to the writing process of their previous records, which has been historically organic and old-school, KING PARROT adopted a new approach to the studio process. Pulling the new record together was a meticulously creative endeavor steered by guitarist Andrew Livingstone-Squires and vocalist Matt Young, who comments: “Throughout the mixing process, we ensured that we got every element where we wanted it. Guitar and bass tones were experimented with until we found exactly what we wanted, the drum sounds were just right, and the performance was executed solidly. Vocally, I rehearsed a lot so that when I recorded it was a breeze.” The final product is the most complete, aggressive, and urgent the band has ever sounded.In advance of the record’s release, KING PARROT has unleashed its first single, the poetically titled “Fuck You And The Horse You Rode In On” and its accompanying “Trainspotting”-inspired video constructed by longtime video producer Dan Farmer of Farmwalker Films who has been responsible for the majority of the band’s revered music videos including the Australian Music Video finalist “Shit On The Liver”.Elaborates Young: “This track is dedicated to anyone that has ever crossed you, tried to belittle you or make you feel less than. The title is pretty self-explanatory. There are multiple people in my life from across the past few years that this song goes out to, and there’s a special spot in the lyrics for each of them. Cowards, abusers, bullies and creeps, ‘Fuck You And the Horse You Rode In On!'”The video process was challenging,” he continues. “It ain’t easy recreating a scene where a bunch of dudes are diving into a toilet bowl! We had the best time making it, but it certainly took a lot of effort and commitment from everyone involved. Our video producer, Dan Farmer, is a genius at his craft and his ability to turn our visions into a reality is brilliant. Paying homage to ‘Trainspotting’ was so much fun, and we hope we captured a video that people can return to for years to come.””A Young Person’s Guide To” will be released on CD, LP, cassette, and digital formats.”A Young Person’s Guide To” track listing:01.

Sharing the stage with POWER TRIP is something we can’t wait for too; they are one of our favorite bands of the modern era.” From there the band will join MASTER for a European live takeover through March.Photo by Dave Gonzalez/Metal Dave Media[embedded content]📢 A YOUNG PERSON’S GUIDE TO KING PARROT 👊🔥 The new album out 6.6.25 🔥👀 NEW VIDEO: “F**k You And The Horse Your Rode…Posted by King Parrot on Thursday, February 6, 2025
