…from the shadows, THE SWEET KILL Forbidden

THE SWEET KILL Forbidden is available on Bandcamp, Deezer, Apple Music

What temps you, what seductions lurk in the shadows of the night, what hunger have you for the taboo…The recent post-punk goth single “Forbidden” from LA Maestro of Darkness THE SWEET KILL (Pete Mills) takes you into those forbidden crevasses of your provocative desires.

Intertwined within the melancholic synths and Martin Gore-esque strumming Mills laments; “Every night the sun sets slowly/ My darkened heart so controls me/ Beneath the silver moon I can’t wait to taste you/ I’m sucked into the black hole of your arms…”. Chills, they’re multiplying.

In a cinematic and uncredited post on Bandcamp, the song’s origins are spoken about in darkened beauty, “Under the cold moonlight, the anticipation, the release, and the elation that ensues, how could something so divine be FORBIDDEN? Temptation motivates one to swim the deepest oceans to soothe unspeakable loneliness. To fix with the most powerful emotion, to experience the darkest union in secret, hidden in the shadows of this world. A private affair for only those that dare to live outside what the world deems the norm. FORBIDDEN romances become provocatively desired. “I know you’re craving; we were outcasts all along, maybe we were wrong to do it, or just sick for what we need, Forbidden.”

For fans of Bauhaus, The Sisters of Mercy, The March Violets, and/or those who succumb to their illicit desires, stream and see “Forbidden”, here at the GTC.

I know your waiting
In the twilight until dawn
I know you’re craving
We were outcasts all along…
