Part 8/10:
Fifteen years later, Beato reconnects with guitarist Brian Whitman, who reached out to share that they had been writing and recording new songs under the moniker Heavy Ways The King—a reference to a discarded album title from their earlier label days. The band, buoyed by their enduring passion, completed an album, revisiting the songs they initially hated but now see as a testament to their resilience.
Beato’s reflection emphasizes that the band’s later work carries the essence of their original sound, unmarred by industry interference. Their recent recordings suggest a hopeful new chapter, illustrating that authentic artistry can endure despite years of setbacks.
