Hailing from Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh, The Bleak is an extreme metal band rooted in death metal and driven by an aggressive, uncompromising sound. Formed in 2023, the band has quickly made its mark on India's independent metal circuit with powerful live performances and thought-provoking themes around human conscience, corruption, and social contradiction.

With their acclaimed self-titled debut EP and 2025 full-length album Submit or Rot, The Bleak continues to push the boundaries of extreme music. Catch them live on their India Tour 2026 for an intense night of raw energy, crushing riffs, and unapologetic metal.
