Melodic metal band SERIOUS BLACK has released a brand-new music video for their latest single, “Little Bird Fly”. The track is taken from their upcoming studio album, Keeper Of The Light, which is set for release on January 29, 2027 via PERCEPTION – A Division Of Reigning Phoenix Music.
Driven by piano and heartfelt vocals, the ballad reveals a different and more emotional side of SERIOUS BLACK. Written by the band’s founder and bassist Mario Lochert, “Little Bird Fly” tells a story of love, disappointment, and the hope that remains even after painful experiences.
Mario Lochert explains the personal background behind the song:
“‘Little Bird Fly’ was written out of love, produced and recorded with hope, passion, and a great deal of heart and soul. I have always believed in finding someone with whom you can grow old and build something meaningful together.
To me, this song is symbolic of a large part of today’s society, which is often characterized by a fast-paced lifestyle, half-truths, lies, deception, disappointment, and a declining sense of loyalty. It is intended to encourage people to reflect on traditional values such as honesty, trust, and humanity, and to learn from their mistakes. Because true greatness is not about presenting yourself as someone without flaws, but about having the courage to openly and honestly acknowledge your own mistakes and actions, without sugarcoating anything.
Authenticity begins where people are willing to accept their weaknesses and learn from them.
That is why ‘Little Bird Fly’ is more than just a song. It is a message of hope, honesty, and the belief that genuine humanity will always have its place in this world. Personally, I have NEVER given up hope of finding true love.”

Since their formation, SERIOUS BLACK have established themselves as one of the leading names in modern power metal. Combining the experience of musicians from renowned metal acts with memorable songwriting, crushing guitars, anthemic choruses and emotionally charged melodies, the band has built a strong international reputation.
With multiple charting releases, more than 200 concerts worldwide, and acclaimed performances at major festivals and tours across Europe, Asia and beyond, SERIOUS BLACK continue to prove why they remain one of the genre’s most compelling live acts. Keeper Of The Light perfectly captures the band’s trademark blend of power, melody and passion while pushing their sound forward with renewed energy.
Marking the band’s next chapter, the album once again showcases everything fans have come to expect from SERIOUS BLACK: massive guitar riffs, driving rhythms, soaring melodies and the unmistakable vocals of Nikola Mijic, all wrapped in a powerful, modern production by Mario Lochert and Bob Katsionis.
All of the eleven songs on the album will see SERIOUS BLACK stylistically return to its roots. Straight, classic power metal – the sound the band once became known for – reigns again. “The return to what once characterized us was already indicated on “Vengeance Is Mine” and “Rise Of Akhenaton”,” Lochert explains the natural evolution of the band and adds: “Since joining five years ago, our singer Nikola Mijic has turned out to be a real jewel for us. Because of his expressive voice and his intuitive feeling for great melodies, the songs have gained more clarity and a more direct presence.”
