The long journey after Huxwhukw
Serious Beak are an obscure progressive metal band that makes the human race cry a thousand tears of joy and confusion.
Four years after their epic battle against Huxwhukw, the feathered foursome have emerged from their hypersonic beak cave, armed with a weapon of mass prog-duction:
Their new album.
This mind-melting masterpiece of psychedelic prog glory will be released November 2015 through Art As Catharsis and Bird’s Robe Records.
We can’t wait to share this new music with you, but to make it happen we need your help.
Help these mighty Prog Warriors ride again into sonic victory, and be part of a legacy to change everything....
