Like an Anatolian fever dream, BLAAK HEAT engulfs your mind in images of mystic castle mirages, slamming body and soul into an ocean of reverb fuzz. BLAAK HEAT’s “Mojave soundtracks” (Blabbermouth.net) rest upon a rich history of musical tradition, drawing from the Middle East as naturally as from California’s deserts and beaches, with one foot still firmly rooted in the streets of Paris. The end-result is a timeless, vivid blend of thundering psychedelic rock and Arabian tonalities, an altar to heavy riffage, mind expansion, and social insurgencies.

Formed in Paris, France by guitarist/singer Thomas Bellier (ex-Spindrift) in 2008, BLAAK HEAT relocated to Los Angeles in 2012 with the help of drummer Mike Amster, and later added former Spindrift bandmate Henry Evans on bass. The band has toured Europe and the US extensively. After three releases (two albums, one EP) and multiple collaborations with the likes of Nobel Prize-nominated Gonzo poet Ron Whitehead, BLAAK HEAT is now working with Grammy Award-winning producer Matt Hyde (Slayer, Monster Magnet, Deftones) on its third full-length album, due in 2016 via TeePee Records and Svart Records.
