Beak early reviews added!

Update #2 · Apr 21, 2012 · comment

We cannot express enough how appreciative we are for the kind words we've been getting from blogs to national newspapers for advance copies of "Eyrie". It's great to know the music isn't falling on deaf ears. There's even hometown love, often the hardest to come-by, from the Chicago Tribune and The Reader.

Thanks,
Beak

Early reviews for "Eyrie" 

"Beak will jump to the top of the list of the best Chicago metal bands because of this one." Reckless Records

"...Beak is ready to lay their claim as the next great post-metal band."

"This band came from out of nowhere for me and blew me away."

"Eyrie is likely the best twenty-five minutes of metal we will come across in 2012." The Silent Ballet

"Chicago post-metal party crashers have songwriting acumen and hardcore bent that 2006's Neur-Isis copycats sorely lacked." Spin Magazine 

"The degree of alternating violence and tranquility in these five songs is both astonishing and unsettling, and it is what makes Eyrie so memorable." Sea of Tranquility

"(They) are on the road to greatness and nobody is going to stand in their way. Brilliant…another contender for one of 2012 best records." Sludgelord

"On their debut album, Eyrie, Beak make a compelling case to be the only new metal band to watch in 2012. Eyrie is a 5-song aural journey that is filled with not only unbridled intensity but also gorgeous passages expertly executed." Popblerd"


One word describes this debut EP by Chicago foursome Beak: brutal. Five songs, no filler, all sorts of post-metal power not heard of since the battle flag of Neurosis was picked up by Boston natives Isis and later Cult of Luna." Boston Phoenix

"Eyrie... is a majestic blend of styles and textures that deftly vaults between billowing atmospherics, polyrhythmic prog and face-melting noise." Emusic
