BLEAKNESS
Word (7")
Kink Records - 7 €
This new 7" by Paris Dark punkers BLEAKNESS features two unreleased songs from the last album studio session. They were put on hold to get the spotlight they deserve. As the band is already working on new material, it was time to release them. A-side song "Words" is the last song the band wrote before entering the studio, and it is another death-rock anthem while B-side "Greed" is based on riffs written during the bands' first ever European tour years ago and it remeniscents the early 80's melancholic South California hardcore punk scene . With both songs gathered together, this 7" is a good summary of the musical spectre of the band between hardcore and post punk, more energetic than ever and for sure with a heavy dose of guitar melancholy.
