Dark, moody and melodic, yet surprisingly progressive and uplifting, Bleak Sanctuary is a melodic death metal / black metal band with a gothic edge, composed of introverts and old souls. Their first offering, The Dark Night of the Soul, tells of a personal growth process marked by inner turmoil and in which a quest for spiritual transformation begins. The album highlights moments of confrontation with our own deepest fears, doubts, and uncertainties, paving the path toward enlightenment and growth. The band converges in Berlin from different corners of the world, united by a shared philosophy of life, forging Bleak Sanctuary into a musical refuge for introspective travelers.
