Following their acclaimed 2024 self-titled debut, Bleak marks a monumental evolution in the band’s sonic voyage, darker, heavier and more immersive than ever before. Drawing inspiration from the crushing weight of Conan, the hypnotic haze of Electric Wizard, the colossal density of Slomatics, the droning minimalism of Sunn O))), and the twisted spirit of '70s psychedelia, Bleak pushes the boundaries of modern doom into realms both oppressive and transcendent.
The band says:
"Will the shallow rise with blood? What lies beneath? Azure landscapes exhale the agonies of spirit and flesh, as we float towards the vast abyss of undying nothingness. There, where our senses deceive us, a story waits to be told:
Vibrations mimicking earthquakes bury your well-being in a daze of pulsating eardrums.
A lost soul torn out from its cozy inner cosmos, battles with demons from the outside; visits unthinkable places.
An amplified wall of terror meets the surreal weaponry of battering drums.
Psychedelic chants that lure you from one geyser to another.
Accompany a journey of suffering, of unclarity, of despair. We remain in boiling heat and instinct. We remain BLEAK"
The first and only single “Tenebrosity’s Path” is already out, offering a foreboding glimpse into the void that defines the album. The track is a slow-burning ritual drenched in suffocating atmosphere and unrelenting heaviness.
