Bleak House (band)
Bleak House were a British heavy metal band formed in 1972.[1] 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 setlist, which was then postponed to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
