about
“An eerie gloom of an endless night where the cursed beings of the Undead realm wrestle with a romantic dilemma as ageless as time. Their love, a silent opera, unfolds against mortality’s relentless march that threatens to snatch away their mortal true love. Each of their heartbeats echoes a sweet, mournful melody, gradually sinking into death’s silence. Faced with a cruel choice – to save their loved ones from mortality’s clasp by damning their soul to the cold of the night or watch them crumble into the arms of death. Oscar Wilde’s words, “The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death,” echo the profound enigma that entangles the hearts of the Undead in a destiny laced with tender caress and icy despair. This melancholy dance between a love strong enough to challenge life and death, yet forever shackled by fate, resonates through the bleak, starless night.”

lyrics
A murder of crows will fly
Over secrets of those who died
Every ghost haunts a million lies
So come with me, so come with me
Into the forest we’ll leave tonight
I know we’re not meant for this life
This hidden sin burns inside
So come with me, so come with me
Into the Undead, the Undead
Give into the mystery
Undead, Undead
From here into eternity
Take my hand on an icy peak
The wind chills this reckoning
Where Gods and monster’s breed
Their darkest secret
Into the Undead, the Undead
Give into the mystery
Undead, Undead
From here into eternity
I’ll lay down kiss you to sleep
And fly you far away with me
Our troubles fade into the deep
Close your eyes I’ll set you free
Blessing this awakening
Let’s get lost into the dream
Undead Undead
Undead Undead
Into the Undead, the Undead
Give into the mystery
Undead, Undead
From here into eternity
Undead Undead
Undead Undead

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
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
