lucretia my reflection - sisters of mercy sped up

“Beneath the chilly moonglow one ponders the delicious conundrum of the Forbidden. The thrill of diving into the depths of desire to satiate an unnamable yearning. In the grand opera of life, some find their hearts drawn to the most enigmatic of duets. A dance shrouded in secrecy, away from the prying eyes of the world’s chorus. In the covert corners of existence, Forbidden romances bloom like exotic flowers, their allure only heightened by their veiled nature. “I know you’re craving; we were outcasts all along,” whispers the siren song of the heart, a tune as old as time yet ever fresh to those who dare to listen. Perhaps it’s not about right and wrong but the irresistible pull of the tantalizing Forbidden. The eerie video delves into this mystery realm with gusto, taking us on a strange sojourn into the twilight. The haunting voice of Pete Mills serves as a guiding light through this shadowy adventure, cutting through the darkness with the intensity and warmth of a candle’s flame. His earnest croon adds a layer of depth and sincerity. The protagonists, outcasts by nature, grapple with their desires in the shadows. Amidst secrets and whispers, their passion is intense yet prohibited, leading them to a paradise where they are exiled, consumed by a dark and irresistible love.” 
– Alex Baker for post-punk.com

Moonlight through my window
The world around us sleeps
Lamp lights the darkness
From the shadows that we keep

I know your waiting
In the twilight until dawn				
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 Forbidden Forbidden 
Forbidden Forbidden
We fall into the waves of paradise 
Exiled for life
Forbidden Forbidden 
Forbidden Forbidden 

Secrets, cut like scissors
Through the truth, down below
Poisonous whispers
How much do they know?

Forbidden Forbidden Forbidden 
Forbidden Forbidden
We fall into the waves of paradise 
Exiled for life
Forbidden Forbidden 
Forbidden Forbidden 

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 

Forbidden Forbidden 
Forbidden Forbidden 

Fall into the waves of paradise 
Exiled for life
Forbidden Forbidden 
Forbidden Forbidden 
Couldn’t keep myself away although I tried 
Burned by your fire
Forbidden Forbidden
Forbidden Forbidden

About UNDER ATTACK
“All conflicts represent a tragedy, where the silence grows and shrouds every voice. The fog of war is able to distort reality and our perception of it: in a conflict nobody wants to listen to the Truth, hypocrisy spreads like a plague, voices of the victims and all the people involved get silenced. We want to shed a light on this insufferable silence and break it, for the victims of all conflicts, once and for all”.

Under Attack

Last Grasp - Escape My Woes

If love can’t outlast the grave, then what’s the point of it all? Blood Red Roses offers a tale of love as both a blessing and a curse, a lover’s spell that binds and breaks. The lyrics speak of the painful grip of desire, where passion cuts deep, and the roses bloom with both beauty and brutality. It’s a song of torment, of being bound to a love that wounds as much as it seduces. The heart, though shattered, is drawn ever closer to the sweet destruction. Blood Red Roses weaves a rich tapestry of religious themes and metaphors, invoking the crucifixion—the ultimate act of sacrifice—and the unwavering faith in resurrection. In the realm of gothic literature, parallels are drawn between the holy communion and the dark covenant of iconic vampires like Nosferatu, Dracula, and Vourdalak. Legends recount how those who witnessed such haunting spectacles etched their tales into history, whispering of eternal life.
In this context, roses—deep crimson and tinged with blood—become powerful symbols of a love forged in sacrifice. The inspiration for writing Blood Red Roses emerged from a serene moment of introspection, its haunting hook taking shape during a meditative moment when frontman Pete Mills drifted beyond time into a spiritual plane. The themes explored in the track also delve into a toxic love that spirals into depravity yet clings desperately to the flicker of hope for rebirth and redemption—all things part and parcel regarding religious fervor and pacts sealed in blood.

The video for the song, inspired by Denis Villeneuve’s Dune adaptation—particularly the infrared scenes of Feyd-Rautha (Austin Butler) in the arena—was shot by Ellen Hawk. It showcases Mills’ multi-instrumental talents and mirrors the song’s intensity, capturing the complex emotions at the heart of Blood Red Roses.

Released at the spawn of Autumn as the world shifts into the cold of winter, Blood Red Roses keeps those, who dare to love, warm throughout the storm.

BAD OMENS x POPPY - V.A.N (DOME remix)

Nefast Project - STALKER

Qual is Lebanon Hanover’s bassist and vocalist William Maybelline.
With his solo project he aims to examine his personal view on music, Maybelline moved from the pop touch of well-known and respected main band of his to cruise the slums of darker and even more extreme electronics. 
To quote William's own words, Qual is about vile visions, despaired in a frowning black tower of pain. Concealed yearns of a desolate heart, trying to scratch that unscratchable rotting itch from within. Centuries of sorrow drenched in gloomy electronics that palpitate like human passions. A call for help.

In My Head (2025 Revisit)

SNYL, Jessica Zese - "In My Head" (2025 Revisit)

lyrics: 

사실을 알고나니 (Now that you know the truth), isn’t it strange?

좋아하던 사람도 (Even the person you once liked…), feeling it fade

약속했던 사람이 사라지기 원해 (You wish the person who made the  promise to disappear) 

Since you were the one who chose this, 그렇겠지 (of course you feel that way)

눈을 감고 사람들 갖고 노니?
(Are you playing with people with your eyes closed?)

거울 inside 한번도 본적 없지?
(You’ve never once looked inside the mirror haven’t you?) 

잘 봐
(Look close) 

Bridge—

The life that you envisioned took us back to the start  

Chorus——

Your delusional mind 

사랑 없는 (Loveless) July 

지나가는 (Passing) goodbyes

At the edge of your knife 

Verse 2—-

수갑 채운 내 자유 (My handcuffed freedom), pleasure of wrists. 

가족들도 괴롭혀 (Even harassing my family), your hearts in abyss 

생각하지 말라고, 계속 말했는데, 는데 
(Though you always said, Don’t think about it) 

Now that things have changed 너도 느껴지지? (you feel it too) 

너도 숨이 막히지? 괜찮겠어? 
(You can’t breathe either, it should be fine right?) 

이제 너무 늦었어, 돌아가지 못해… 
(It’s too late, you can’t turn around) 

Bridge—-

(We’re counting your incisions and we’re stitching them back) 


Chorus——

Your delusional mind 

사랑 없는 (Loveless) July 

지나가는 (Passing) goodbyes

At the edge of your knife 

Outro——

At the edge of your knife x4

That Total Age

Join In The Chant

Cititrax is thrilled to present a full length LP entitled Adieux Au Dancefloor by Montreal based recording artist, Marie Davidson. Marie Davidson has emerged as one of the foremost electronic artists working in contemporary pop today. As a long-time member of Essaie Pas (DFA Records), Davidson has had the opportunity to hone her many talents. She has been participating in the city’s vibrant experimental community for much of her adult life. However, in 2012 she began to unveil compositions under her own name, revealing a solo artist who possessed the combined confidence and vulnerability required to write, produce and perform unaccompanied. Davidson’s intimate solo work is embodied through a host of synthesizers, sequencers and drum machines which coalesce in synchronized harmony, punctuated by vocals, half sung, half spoken in both French and English. She masterfully shapes the overall mood, themes, emotion, expression and intensity of her work, which gives the final result a distinctive, cinematic quality. 
With Adieux Au Dancefloor, Marie makes a slight departure from her last two releases, via Holodeck (2015) and Weyrd Son (2014), by creating her first fully dancefloor oriented piece of work. Through the 45 minutes of music that comprises the album, she experiments with pop structures, defines her voice, and layers rhythms to make complex and beautiful techno tracks. She closes the album with the title track in classic Chanson style.
Adieux Au Dancefloor will be released on October 6th. The record will be pressed on 160 gram white vinyl and will feature photographs by the equally talented Corinne Schiavone. The record will be housed in a full color printed heavyweight jacket along with matching printed inner sleeve. Pre-order available now. Digital release to follow.

Lyrics: 
It seems like honesty is not so fashionable these days, it's true, I ask a lot of questions.
You call me naive?
I'll tell you what, I'm naive to the bone.
Do you think I'm too soft?
Because I don't hide, or is it that your lost when I smile?
I don't need your love but I'll dare to ask you how you feel about me.
Just to get things straight.

I have no cards to hide.
My life is not a game.

Let me picture my future, a large room where you can hear the silence.
No space for arrogance, no pain in my chest.
Just the beating of my heart.
J'suis pas un cordeau moi! (In French)

In The Middle Ages, people used to wear clocks, it's 2016, get real.
So you think i'm too soft.
I have nothing to prove, I have no advice for you. But remember what Terrance said: 
"The last dance, we dance alone".
