King Parrot Premiere First Single From Upcoming New Album “A Young Person’s Guide To King Parrot”

Australian thrash/grind outfit King Parrot have unleashed their first new music in five years. Their latest track, “Fuck You And The Horse You Rode In On,” serves as the first glimpse into their upcoming album, A Young Person’s Guide To King Parrot. Accompanying the single is a disturbing Dan Farner-directed music video, drawing inspiration from Trainspotting, which has just premiered online.

"A Young Person’s Guide To King Parrot" is set for release through Housecore Records in North America, the label run by Pantera vocalist Phil Anselmo. Dead Set Records will handle the Australian release, while Dead Serious Recordings will oversee the European edition, and Obliteration Records will distribute it in Japan.

Frontman Matt Young shared his thoughts on the track:

“Essentially 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’s 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. Coward’s, Abuser’s, Bully’s and Creep’s, Fuck You And the Horse Your Rode In On!

The video process for Horse was challenging, it ain’t easy recreating a scene where a bunch of dudes dive 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.”
