Memorabilia: Wroclaw Industrial Festival
As almost every year since 1997, the dedicated and lovely WIF community reconvened in Wroclaw to party and see the most exciting alternative artists of the related genres.
This year, 2025, headliners included Test Dept., Cut Hands, Thorofon, Portion Control, Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio, Mono No Aware amongst many others.
On four days, Maciek Frett and his team proved again that their event is one of the most important in the European scene.
Can’t believe it’s been 14 years since this one! bleak037 – Various Artists – Wroclaw Industrial Festival – 10th Anniversary Compilation

Need – To Look Time In The Eye
We are happy to have the first Streaming release on Bleak, this one is from Need, pretty much US here, at least one half of the band is Bernhard “Bleak” Hansbauer.
5 tracks, coming from different stages of our band history, wrapped into a blanket of cold, dark synth wave lull.
See the release page!
Need – To Look Time In The Eye (Remixes, April 2025)
Need is the project of Bleak’s own Bernhard Hansbauer, together with Chris Hauer, who just released their first EP of alternative / darkwave material – To Look Time In The Eye – and here we release its companion, the Remixes EP, containing the same tracks but in a minimalistic, rough and more distorted way. Enjoy the tracks and listen to the original EP. Here’s a teaser of the first track, Turn Around.
COMING SOON!
Shows and Releases upcoming!
You thought there’s nothing going on here?
Nah, we are planning a couple of things for 2025 – some events, some releases, both digital and physical.
Also, you will see some reviews and views coming up.
Until then, happy new year and see you soon!
Up and running!
We are back online with the full catalogue, with maybe just some bits and pieces missing, but the shop is working, all downloads are available, and some new pages are coming soon!
