To reconcile heartache by kissing the living dead after a broken heart beats Cold. With an adrenalin rush of chill “Cold” turns a dire situation into a dark sonic manifesto.
lyrics
I watched as you froze
Chilled me to the bone
And your lips kissed so cold
So cold, so cold, so cold, so cold
Death by a thousand cuts
You keep telling me its not enough
Hanging on gimme more, begging me from the floor
Oh no, don’t stop its so cold
You betrayed what I thought was trust
Getting off on all the ways you suffer
Need a hit gotta fix, down below there’s a storm
So cold
I watched as you froze
Chilled me to the bone
And your lips kissed cold
So cold, so cold, so cold
You turned me into stone
As the lights are dimming low
Now my lips kiss cold
So cold, so cold, so cold, so cold
Secret and malevolent
Coquettish in your wicked sin
Gotta break from the cold, too escape from your hold
On me, can’t breathe I’m so cold
Blinded by this twisted fate
Drowning deep into void we made
Like a fist through the glass, one more kiss make it last
So cold
A thousand cuts, a thousand cuts, a thousand cuts
Death by a thousand cuts
I turned to stone, chilled to the bone I crumbled into dust
The lights dim low and the curtains close
Our death by a thousand cuts

THE SWEET KILL is a one-man, post-punk, dark & gothic diviner of millenarian angst.
The highly anticipated 2024 album
Nowhere is out on Young & Cold Records. Mills exclaims, “Nowhere questions the final analysis of the soul’s journey between life and death, are we eternally floating in the ether or are we never lost & always found?”...more
Thank you for the second album. Got all three now on Bandcamp and they inspire me so much.
Kids in school, then work, and kids back from school - then baths and homework - AND FINALLY a bit of time in my cobbled together mini studio in my one bedroom flat. YOU inspire me to make the effort to make all that stuff work. Sentient Helicopters
First full lenght album by the band, preceded by the two excellent EP's 'Fault Line' and 'Reflections'. In line with their now characteristic sound and influences, October Burns Black deliver a great collection of tracks whose spell is impossible to resist.
Classy and classic gothic rock at it's best. Dionysos Nyktelios
Darkwave synth that directly addresses our modern dystopian political environment, with proceeds going to the Voting Rights Project. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 17, 2018
The terrific debut album from Berlin industrial-pop auteurs Mueran Humanos was out of print until this reissue on the band's own new label. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 22, 2020
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days.
Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
