Official press release:
Australia’s unhinged extreme metal villains King Parrot return with their third and finest long player to date in the form of Ugly Produce.
Set for release in North America on September 22nd via Housecore Records and Agonia Records in Europe, Ugly Produce is a ten-track feast of distinctively punishing and powerful anthems. Recorded at the infamous Goatsound Studios in Melbourne, Australia and produced by Blood Duster’s Jason Fuller, this is no walk in the park on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Ugly Produce is a twisted, cantankerous ride through an outback graveyard, high on PCP, wreaking of animal feculence.
Ugly Produce mixes the raw fury of debut album Bite Your Head Off and mashes it with the twisted sophistication of their ARIA-nominated follow-up Dead Set. Vocalist Matt “Youngy” Young issues:
“Ugly Produce reaches new heights in abrasive songwriting and serves up an odious pile of repulsive flavors you wouldn’t want to find on your local fruit and vegetable shelves. It’s a repugnant harvest of gnarled and nasty grind, death metal, thrash, and punk rock and it’s more caustic than ever.”
