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.
