Don’t be fooled by their name! If anything, Weak have a weakness for all things dark and mysterious. In their debut album “Dark Desires” they herald a contemporary rebirth of the values of old. “The Sisters of Mercy on speed”, some say, “tomorrows’ old school”, others add. Well, they are all right! Blessed by a knack for enviable catchy choruses and melodies most other Goth Rock bands would die for, Weak have steadily worked their way up over the last few years. Freshly signed to Woodhouse Records, in-house label of Siggi Bemm’s legendary Woodhouse Studios where Tiamat or Philipp Boa recorded their visionary works, Weak are all set for their biggest onslaught yet. The legends are dead or silenced, their offspring are lazy, the much-hyped newcomers lack passion and stamina. Weak aren’t. They know what they want, they have the necessary instruments to achieve their goals – and transform their weakness for music into their biggest strength. Four hearts, burning for the exact same thing. What could possibly go wrong? Armed with an impressive array of nocturnal hymns, “Dark Desires” is feeding off the flair of what once was and yet breathes the air of this new age of machines: A pairing for eternity, to be sure. Who doesn’t have a weakness for that probably doesn’t know what “Bloody Kisses” is, either...
