HatebeakIt had to happen. A death metal band... with a PARROT on lead vocals! How completely and stupidly brilliant! We love it! And so will you. The music is furious and blasting death metal, grinding riffs, pounding drums and crushing bass. Only, the usual cookie monster grunts are replaced by the evil squawks of Waldo the parrot. And Waldo does a pretty decent job, offering lots of unintelligable grunts and growls and other birdlike vocalisations."

Unfortunately, you'll have to actually buy the 7" coloured vinyl EP to hear evidence of this bird's vocal abilities, as there were no song downloads or samples as far as I could see. This is an American band, in case you were really wondering.

UPDATE! BoingBoing have posted this link to an mp3 sample (lo-fi, at that) of the Hatebeak song 'God of Empty Nest'. Listen and be afraid.
