Bleak Magician is a band from Baltimore, Maryland. The founding members are Srogi Mroczek, Weirding Batweilder, and Dirt Boucher. Their homegrown debut full-length How the Disappearance Appeared to Us was released digitally and on limited edition cassette on 06 December 2024.

Srogi and Weirding are brothers. They worked together starting in 2019 — with Srogi as audio engineer and Weirding as songwriter — on albums by the avant-metal band Bornwithhair and again on two full-length releases by the vampiric black metal project Vinterdracul. Srogi and Dirt play together in Mephistophilizer — something of a latter day homage to the Neat Records catalog. The trio started working together as Bleak Musician in late 2023.
