William Bleak is a Berlin-based artist who blends industrial, goth, rock, techno and EBM for a colliding sound all his own. His latest release is the hard-hitting musical escape "Ghost Waltz". The track is off of his forthcoming highly anticipated album and is off of the innovative new record label Breathing Records.
With "Ghost Waltz", William Bleak creates the perfect immersive new single that is equally exciting as it is chaotically alive. Described by the artist as a “digital demolition of the senses,” the track lives up to its name, unspooling in waves of analog synth distortion, violent electronic pulses, and suffocating layers of noise. Forged during long nights of experimentation with analog synthesizers, “Ghost Waltz” blurs the boundary between human emotion and mechanical force. There’s something deeply corporeal beneath its circuitry: a heartbeat buried under static, a waltz rhythm twisted into industrial abrasion. It’s not a dance floor anthem in the traditional sense, it’s a descent. As Bleak himself puts it, the track is “for losing yourself in the moment — and staying lost,” and that sense of surrender defines the listening experience.
Based in Berlin,
William Bleak has built his reputation on gothic aggression and relentless intensity, sharing stages with acts like She Past Away, Clan of Xymox, and Traitrs, and performing across Mexico, the US, the UK, and Europe. His sound, an explosive fusion of crushing electronic rhythms and thunderous live instrumentation, has always felt tribal in its intent, music made not just to be heard but endured collectively.
“Ghost Waltz” is a scorching new chapter as he prepares to release his label debut LP. If this single is any indication, the forthcoming record promises a visceral journey through that doesn’t simply soundtrack the darkness, but drags you into it and dares you to stay.
