Hatebeak is an American death metal band, formed by Blake Harrison and Mark Sloan, featuring Waldo (b. 1991), a grey parrot. Hatebeak is reported to be the first band to have an avian vocalist.[1] They never tour so as to not distress Waldo.[2] Hatebeak is signed to Reptilian Records. They released the album Number of the Beak on June 26, 2015, through Reptilian Records.[3]
The band's sound has been described as "a jackhammer being ground in a compactor".[4] Aquarius Records magazine called Hatebeak "furious and blasting death metal".[5] Hatebeak made its second record with Caninus, a band whose lead singers were two dogs.[5] Hatebeak's goal is to "raise the bar for extreme music".[5]
