THE SWEET KILL is a one-man, post-punk, dark & gothic diviner of millenarian angst. Driven by cold synths, atmospheric guitar, minimal drums, melodic bass, multi-instrumentalist, and velvety crooning baritone, Pete Mills conducts a cinematic darkwave masterpiece of romantic sorrow echoing the laments of The Cure and Joy Division.

Driven by cold synths, atmospheric guitar, minimal drums, melodic bass, multi-instrumentalist, and velvety crooning baritone, Pete Mills conducts a cinematic darkwave masterpiece of romantic sorrow echoing the laments of The Cure and Joy Division. With an extensive background in music creation, Mills blends the elements of his past seamlessly with the present and even the future, creating a tapestry of gothic intrigue. Initially, Mills was a guitarist and didn’t grasp the meaning of being a lead singer until he “translated using my voice as a creepy instrument,” Mills said. In 2021, Mills brought The Sweet Kill to life. To inspire those lost in the shadows of life The Sweet Kill cemented itself as one of the acts to watch with unveiling of the 2022 album Darkness. The Sweet Kill is the phoenix rising from the ashes of projects past and entering a new era of artistry.Shadow Zone Sound is his own studio where Mills records and produces all THE SWEET KILL material. “Undead” and “Forbidden” are the current singles from the highly anticipated sophomore album Nowhere which comes out on Young & Cold Records (Germany) and Shadow Zone Records (USA). 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 and always found?”To purchase products, https://thesweetkill.bandcamp.com/releasesFollow @thesweetkill on all social media for the latest updates, new music, and more!

As if to answer the question of whether they really existed or not, 2012 saw CARGO records re-issue their debut album Rock N' Roll Must Be Destroyed. Soon after RNRMBD's release, rumors of new material began to surface. Metropolis Records immediately signed and released the album entitles Wild. Recently leaked tracks that sound more like ABBA than the New York Dolls, and a video clip of the band playing a Los Angeles party suggest that the world is in for another bizarre encounter with one of histories most eccentric bands.
