The much talked about death metal/grindcore outfit fronted by a parrot Hatebeak will be releasing their new album Number of the Beak on June 26, 2015 via Reptilian Records. Hatebeak was formed in Baltimore, MD as a studio project of Blake Harrison (now of Pig Destroyer) with Mark Sloan (The Index) and Waldo, a 21 year old African Grey Parrot. The album was mastered by Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer,Agoraphobic Nosebleed) will be issued on CD, cassette, as well as limited vinyl runs (including 300 on a special Bird Shit black/white/clear color mix). 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! Stream samples below.
