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 April 2016 via TeePee Records and Svart Records.
