BLEAKNESS - Functionally Extinct - LP

Bleakness was born out of the need to express feelings of discomfort arising from frustration and despair at an oppressive system. This initially resulted in fast and tense hardcore punk songs interspersed with melancholic melodies.
After a handful of local shows, Bleakness quickly embargoed themselves for their first European tour. Over the following two years, between the release of EPs and constant shows and tours in France and abroad, the trio worked diligently on new songs, with each new song providing more room for post-punk-influenced melodies to develop.
At the end of 2018, Bleakness relocated to Lyon, solidified their line-up with a new drummer and finalised the writing of their first full-length album. FUNCTIONNALY EXTINCT was released at the end of 2019 on Sabotage Records in Germany and Destructure Records in France. The sound of FUNCTIONNALY EXTINCT is a perfect combination of the sadness of early 80's post-punk and the anger of today's French hardcore punk.
