Description
Release Date: June 6th 2025
“A Young Person’s Guide To King Parrot” is 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 endeavour and the final product is the most complete, aggressive, and urgent the band has ever sounded.
King Parrot recently completed a monstrous 33 date tour through Europe and the UK with stadium dates alongside Pantera and Power Trip followed by a full European club tour with death metal pioneers Master. King Parrot will be launching the new record all over Australia throughout May and June. A new US show alongside Acid Bath + Pentagram will take place in New York at Brooklyn Paramount on July 25 before the band join Pantera + Amon Amarth on “The Heaviest Tour of The Summer” all over the USA. A full list of the bands upcoming tour dates can be found below, with more North American dates to be announced in the coming weeks including a string of Canadian shows. Japanese fans can expect to see the band in 2026 with dates to be announced in the future.
