Bleak House were a British heavy metal band formed in 1972,[1] who were active during the New wave of British heavy metal era of the late 1970s and early 1980s. They are best known for their song "Rainbow Warrior", which gained fame due to its similarities with the 1986 Metallica song "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)".
After being inactive for nearly 40 years, the band announced that they would be reuniting for a one-off show for the Keep it True Festival in Lauda-Königshofen, Germany, as part of the 2021 lineup, which was then postponed to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] The band's appearance at the festival was subsequently rescheduled to 2024, with a warm-up show at The Water Rats in London planned for 23 March 2024.[3]
