1) In the midst of an incredibly prolific time for the band Lycia during the mid-’90s, bandleader Mike Vanportfleet and fellow member David Galas found time to create a side project, Bleak, to focus on more aggressive music than they normally produced in their shadowy, doomingly beautiful main group.

Discography:
1.Vane (projekt 1995)

2) Bleak is atmospheric/ambient/raw dark/black metal with vocals reminenscent of early burzum.

For the most part, all recordings have been done using cheap equipment, and pirated software. the kind founders of metalhordes helped with the recording of the vocals in the two most recent works, allowing sole member, Anthony, to make use of California State University, Chico’s recording arts equipment.

Bleak is not about being grim, nekro, ns, kvlt or any other trends that affected teens may be buying into within the different sub genres of black metal. Bleak is about despair, depression, hopelessness, etc. Bleak is about the realization of inevitable death, loss of all that is valued, and the absolute, inavoidable failure of mankind, and all that mankind has created.
