Berlin-based artist William Bleak has been making waves with his dark gothic electro sound and equally dark overtones in his lyrics and is now back with his new single “Black and Blue”. The single comes as he announces his signing to underground label Breathing Records and his debut album, Neon Goth Evangelion, to be released on it.
The single retains his staple gothic electro sound as far as his music is concerned, but the lyrics take a bit of a shift – grief and darkness are replaced by roaming the streets of Berlin with like-minded souls, showing some rays of light in the surrounding darkness. As he puts it, “Black and Blue” electrifies as a testament to finding joy in chaos, to finding a new perspective in the eyes of someone else, to coming back to life after a seemingly unending downfall. The single is a sign that Bleak just might color his music and lyrics in lighter tones, without filly abandoning what became his signature sound.
Bleak, who previously played shows shows in Mexico, the US, UK and all across Europe, is also preparing for new shows in Germany with Foreign Resort, previously sharing stages with the likes of She Past Away, Clan of Xymox and Traitrs.
