King Parrot: Australian Thrash/Grind Unit Kicks Off North American Tour

If you dig the creepy, almost Rob Zombie-esque video for “Shit on the Liver” from Australia’s thrash/grind metal act, King Parrot, then you’ll be thrilled to know that they’re kicking off a North American tour. The savage band will also hit this year’s Tone Deaf Touring Showcase at SXSW, which also features Spirit Caravan, Iron Reagan, Pilgrim, and more. At select dates along King Parrot’s trek across North America, they’ll be joined by Vattnet Viskar and Vaporizer.

Dates and additional details below.

Shouts the band simply:

Raw, extreme and right over the top! Australia’s King Parrot embark on their first North American Tour starting this week! Be there.

Among Australia’s most lethal and extreme new bands, King Parrot will be touring in support of their Bite Your Head Off full-length released via Candlelight Records last year. Produced by Jason Fuller (Blood Duster, Dern Rutlidge) and Adam Calaitzis (Damaged, Abramelin), the record manages to capture the raw intensity of their live shows, defying genres with a cross section attack of thrash, grind, punk, and hardcore.
