A place where Finish death/doom meets with England gothic rock is The Bleak Picture. The Finnish duo created a video for the song “Tragedy’s Own”. The song is found on the band’s debut EP, Songs Of Longing, which is out now on Alone Records. Jussi Hänninen of missed cult act Fall Of The Leafe joins with Tero Ruohonen of Autumnfall in this absolutely must-hear act for fans of the genre that looks for something distinct without losing the essence.
Even as this music is rooted in the old school, it serves as a new beginning. Looking towards the future without forgetting the past, The Bleak Picture is a coin with two equal sides that point your destiny underground. A perfect mix of early Katatonia constructed by the lightning feeling of superb melodies of the keyboards and guitars sharp enough to cut permafrost; mid-paced tempos with groovy keyboards in the same vein of Joy Division, Bauhaus, or Fields Of The Nephilim. It’s all met with a mix of vocal styles, with growls in the vein of Officium Triste mixed with clear passages drenched in anguish.
The new video for The Bleak Picture’s “Tragedy’s Own” was directed by Gure Hitzak. Vocalist Tero Ruohonen reveals: “I don’t want to go into detail on what the lyrics of the song are about, I’d rather leave that to the listener to dwell on and decide. With this video, however, it was very important to me that we got some theatre footage in it and this dark and murky feeling in general. The feeling of emptiness and longing and at times even anger and frustration was something I was personally hoping to channel in this video.” Link youtube}HvStHQ9Urss{/youtube}
