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 <a href="spotify:artist:51mEqzVhG2n9nD2kBAnWer" data-name="London After Midnight">London After Midnight</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4HxBVyHaUa60eCSsJWxwWR" data-name="Sisters of Mercy">Sisters of Mercy</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:432R46LaYsJZV2Gmc4jUV5" data-name="Joy Division">Joy Division</a>.
Shadow Zone Sound, Mills’ own recording sanctuary, is a vessel for exploring the dark edges of the human condition—where every note, every lyric, searches for meaning in the spaces between life and the infinite unknown. Albums Darkness and Nowhere bear this unmistakable mark. Mills muses, “Nowhere questions the final analysis of the soul’s journey between life and death, are we eternally drifting in the ether or, are we never lost and always found?”
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. This partnership will culminate in a third album in 2026. With Dead of the Night, The Sweet Kill invites us into a dark, cinematic world where devotion, desire, and despair converge beneath the moonlight.
