Bleak to release debut LP through Hex Records
Syracuse’s Bleak will be releasing their debut full length this summer on Hex Records. The members, all mainstays of the hardcore/ metal/ punk scene in town, have been crushing eardrums in various other bands before coming together to form Bleak two years ago. Since that time they have released a couple demos, splits, and an EP while touring consistently throughout the East Coast and Midwest.
They will record their album this month at Watchmen Studios in Buffalo, NY with Doug White at the helm and bringing their sound- a violent mixture of sludge, metal, and hardcore that recalls elements from Eyehategod, Crowbar, Neurosis, and Disembodied- to it’s next logical step.
The record will be out this summer and will be followed by a split with fellow Syracuse grind unit Dialysis, also to be released on Hex Records. To promote the record Bleak will head out on their first national tour (dates below).
