King Parrot

Melbourne, VIC, AU · 2010–present · active
King Parrot are a Melbourne grindcore and thrash-infected hardcore band whose music is fast, filthy, and deliberately unruly. Formed in 2010, the group became known for a combination of abrasive records, chaotic live shows, and music videos that match extreme metal violence with Australian black humor. Albums such as Bite Your Head Off, Dead Set, Ugly Produce, and A Young Person's Guide to King Parrot capture a band that draws from grindcore, punk, thrash, death metal, and pub-rock aggression without smoothing any of it into respectable shape. Matt Young's vocals are harsh and manic, while the guitars and rhythm section keep the songs short, nasty, and full of sudden impacts. King Parrot's strength is that the comedy never drains the threat from the music. The band can be ridiculous, but the riffs still hit, the drums still blast, and the live energy is plainly serious. They carry forward a distinctly Australian tradition of heavy music that values irreverence, volume, and physical confrontation. King Parrot matter because they make extreme music feel both punishing and unpretentious, refusing to choose between technical aggression, punk stupidity, and the communal release of a very loud room.

Knoll

Memphis, TN, US · 2017–present · active
Memphis-bred grindcore collective Knoll weld death metal, noise, and black metal into a suffocating, chaotic assault that defies easy categorization. Their albums 'Interstice' and 'Metempiric' were engineered by the likes of Kurt Ballou and Brad Boatright, earning critical acclaim for their blistering intensity. Known for incorporating unexpected elements like trumpet sections into their grinding cacophony, Knoll's live performances are notoriously overwhelming.
