The French band Bleakness is back with a new single, „The Left Behind,“ which follows up on their dark, energetic, and emotional sound. It also serves as a taster of their upcoming album, which is set to be released on Vicious Circle Records. Bleakness has long connected the rawness of punk with melancholic melodies and a post-punk atmosphere—and the new track pushes this blend even further.

„The Left Behind“ is a song that feels both intense and visceral: sharp guitars, a massive rhythm section, and urgent vocals combine here into the suffocating atmosphere that this band has in its blood. Lyrically, Bleakness traditionally addresses themes of alienation, loss, and social reality, but without pathos.

The single is also accompanied by a music video. Bleakness is one of the contemporary bands worth paying attention to; they mix classic, proven methods with a new approach, and the result is quality music. Call it dark punk, post-punk, coldwave, or whatever you like, but give it a listen.
