LA post-punk band THE SWEET KILL, helmed by Pete Mills, stands as a gothic-rock tour-de-force, a dark presence in a world of cold wave synths and brooding guitars. Spawned to be a beacon for those lost in the shadows of life, Mills’ deep baritone voice guides us through sonic terrains stretched over wind-swept moors and crumbling Gothic ruins. THE SWEET KILL delves into the chambers of the soul, where despair and longing collide. His voice, like a haunting refrain, pulls at the heartstrings, evoking the desolate beauty of a long-lost romantic era echoing the laments of London After Midnight, Sisters of Mercy and Joy Division.
The latest Halloween single Dead of the Night, is a requiem for the death of his former life and a hymn for the rebirth. This also celebrates the signing to Artoffact Records. With Dead of the Night, The Sweet Kill invites us into a dark, cinematic world where devotion, desire, and despair converge beneath the moonlight.
