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. To inspire those lost in the shadows of life The Sweet Kill rises 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. The albums Darkness (2023) and Nowhere (2024) were released on Young & Cold Records (Germany). 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?” The latest single Blood Red Roses released on Shadow Zone Records (USA) celebrates the fall season alluding to a new album in 2025.
