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 releaseda couple demos, splits, and an EP while touring consistently throughout the East Coast and Midwest.Their debut full-length, "We Deserve Our Failures" was recorded this Spring 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.
