While German dark rockers Weak has published several EPs in the recent years and played lots of concerts and festivals, Woodhouse Records is now finally releasing their debut full-length album, Dark Desires. A lyric video for the first single, “Into The Night”, is streaming below.

For Weak, Dark Desires is an important step forward, because it's their first regular studio album, ”All songs share the common theme of desire, albeit of different kinds, not just lust. However, our focus is clearly on the sinister side of things, melancholy, despair, or loss.”

The album reveals many facets of their musical personalities, the goth rock, the heavier and the melodic, the atmospheric, the industrial and the glamorous. Great attitude, up-tempo songs and catchy choruses will take hold of you from beginning to the very last second. Produced by the renowned Siggi Bemm in Woodhouse Studios (The Gathering, Tiamat, The Kovenant).

"Of course it helped us a lot to have such an experienced producer on our site for our first album. Siggi really challenged us and made sure we gave our best”, the band said about their cooperation.

Weak stands for cutting guitar riffs, atmospheric keys, grooving beats, and expressive and emotional vocals. The band has been around in the music business for quite some time and has already released a number of tracks. They’ve rocked lots of stages to boot, and even won several awards at festivals and contests such as a band presentation on 1LIVE radio and the second place at the Europe-wide DRUM demo listening session. Weak also played as support act for bands such as Doro, Axxis, 4Lyn, Sportfreunde Stiller, Emil Bulls, and many more.

Comparisons with genre-related acts are viewed calmly and seen as positive by the band: "We don't have a problem with that, hehe, just the opposite is true. We think that statements such as "we do not fit into a specific genre" are almost always inappropriate, they don’t apply in 99% of the cases or the musical result is just about unbearable ;). But of course we also try to define some unique selling points for us – maybe something like "old school goth rock pimped with modern tunes" ... For the future we clearly wish to perform our music live. There is nothing better than to rock a stage, enthrall people with our music, and to have a really great time doing it. This is exactly why we make music.”

Dark Desires will be released on September 11th digitally via Woodhouse Records.
