1) In the midst of an incredibly prolific time for the band Lycia during the mid-1990s, bandleader Mike Van Portfleet and fellow member David Galas found time to create a side project, Bleak, to focus on more aggressive music than they normally produced in their main group. One full-length album, titled "Vane", was released in 1995.
2) Formed in Finland's rock capital Rovaniemi in 1997, Bleak stuck strictly to grunge during the first years of its career. The new millennium saw the band take a short breather, but Bleak regrouped in 2002, armed with a new, broader musical outlook. Today, the band's music is a reflection of the eternally, well, bleak sonic frost of these five northern men, coated with an earthy penchant for melody, all served continental style. Vocalist/songwriter Caleb's exceptional voice is the icing on the cake.
The band worked hard on a grass roots level, and their self-financed single 'Crossword' was in rotation at several rock radio stations. Radio airplay and live performances started to build a solid fanbase steadily. Asko Kallonen and Niko Nordström from Helsinki Music Company took an interest in the band and soon signed Bleak. The first fruits of the new partnership came in the form of the single 'Play', which debuted on the official Finnish singles chart at number 2. The song also found its way to the playlists of both Radio City and YleX.
Bleak has also gigged regularly. Support from Ville and Mige from HIM has given the band a great shove forward, and Bleak has performed as HIM's opening act twice. The new single 'What You Are' will be released on April 12th, and is already in rotation at Radio City and YleX. Bleak's debut album '[Burns Inside]' was released on May 17th 2006. Unfortunately, the band split up in February 2009, to allow its different members to work on their other projects. Nevertheless, Caleb "adopted" all of the old Bleak songs -as well as the new ones from the album the band had been working on- and will continue to play them with his new band, Fireal.

3) Bleak is ambient / atmospheric / raw black metal with vocals reminiscent of early Burzum, formed in 2001 in Chico, California, United States.
For the most part, all recordings have been done using cheap equipment, and pirated software. the kind founders of metalhordes helped with the recording of the vocals in the two most recent works, allowing sole member, Anthony, to make use of California State University, Chico's recording arts equipment.
Bleak is not about being grim, nekro, ns, kvlt or any other trends that affected teens may be buying into within the different sub genres of black metal. Bleak is about despair, depression, hopelessness, etc. Bleak is about the realization of inevitable death, loss of all that is valued, and the absolute, inavoidable failure of mankind, and all that mankind has created.

4) Bleak is the greatest death blues band this side of the Delta. Imagine a noise that can melt through bank vaults. Throw in a wall shattering live show. Add twisted humour and a dash of voodoo. What do you get? Heavy, brutal, primal, direct, and yet sublimely beautiful, this band drags you by your throat from the plantations of the 1860s Deep South via the jails and chain gangs of the Great Depression and throws you face down among burning rubble and charred corpses of the Rhythm Night Club, Natchez Mississippi.
These guys tried to sell their souls to the devil at the crossroads. He couldn’t afford them, so they are going to give you a piece for free instead. BLEAK are Tim - the highs; Rach - the lows; Rich - the sighs; Yvonne - the blows; Anton - the blues...

Bleak Lyrics

A moment of truth that I saw in your face
It hurts inside, a moment this vile
That you brought alive
All the roads lead back to you
:verse:
[Caleb]
A moment of truth
That I saw in your face
It hurts inside, i'm one with this fire
That you brought to life
[both]
All the roads lead back to you
:Pre-chorus:
[Ana]
Give me something to return to
In your heart
I fear nothing but to leave here
Without you for life
:Chorus:
[Ana]
We were left in this world for eachother
But I can't run from the fate
I've been fighting for so long
:Verse:

You made me rue a end
Until the dawn of time I have...

Walked alone
You tore up a storm
When all hope was lost
When time revolves, I have to let go

Of what never meant to be

The lyrics of "Fate" by Bleak feat. Ana Johnsson speak about a powerful and intense love story, where two individuals cannot escape their destiny to be together despite their struggles to do so. The first verse talks about how the singer's lover has changed his name with the power of their love, and he has seen the truth in their face. However, this love is also causing pain and fire inside him. The chorus reflects the fate that has brought them together, but no matter how hard they have fought, they cannot run from it.
The second verse talks about how the singer has been walking alone, and his lover has caused a storm to tear through his life. Despite this, when time passes, he knows he has to let go of what was never meant to be. The song ends with the plea for something to hold on to in the heart of the beloved, fearing nothing but being without them for life.
Overall, "Fate" is a song that speaks about love, destiny, and the challenges faced by individuals who try to escape their fate but are always brought back to each other. It is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to the heart.

You change the sound of my name
Your impact on me is so significant that even my name sounds different now
A moment of truth that I saw in your face
I witnessed something honest and real in your expression
It hurts inside, a moment this vile
This painful feeling within me is undeniable
That you brought alive
You caused this feeling to exist
All the roads lead back to you
Everything seems to come back to you in my life
Give me something to return to
I need a reason to come back to you
In your heart
You hold the key to my happiness
I fear nothing but to leave here
My only fear is leaving without you
Without you for life
I can't imagine living without you forever
We were left in this world for eachother
It feels like fate that we were meant to be together
But I can't run from the fate
Even though we were meant to be, there are still difficulties to overcome
I've been fighting for so long
I've been struggling to hold on to this belief for a while
You made me rue a end
You caused me to experience regret and sorrow
Until the dawn of time I have...
For what feels like forever, I have been...
Walked alone
Navigated life without anyone else by my side
You tore up a storm
You caused a lot of chaos and disruption
When all hope was lost
During a time when things seemed impossible to overcome
When time revolves, I have to let go
As time moves forward, I must learn to move on
Of what never meant to be
I have to let go of something that was never meant to happen
