THE M… Read Full Bio ↴The Murder Of My Sweet is a Gothic Symphonic band from Sweden.
THE MURDER OF MY SWEET - A name inspired by the 1944 movie Murder, My Sweet. The path, beliefs and concept which the five members of the band share - the journey each of the members has endured finally led them to one another, building up to this point, to realizing common goals.
Formed by drummer, songwriter and producer Daniel Flores who after a few false starts of what was to become The Murder Of My Sweet just by coincidence came across the magnificent singer Angelica Rylin - well endowed with the right look, voice and talents, being exactly what Daniel was searching for. The rest of The Murder Of My Sweet’s line up was then rather easily recruited - guitarist Daniel Palmqvist, bass player Johan Niemann and keyboardist Andreas Lindahl all being mentally, creatively and spiritually the right combination to complete the perfect match.
The Murder Of My Sweet is simple yet stirring musical statement that expands the boundaries of what great music is all about. The band’s sound is rich in influence and yet distinctly unique. The lush melodic cinematic landscapes reflect the diversity of the five members own musical experiences. From Angelica’s soaring vocal melodies and sweeping choruses to the explosive layers of guitars from Palmqvist and the thrilling orchestratic keyboard arrangements painted by Andreas Lindahl backed by the bombastic and dynamic rhythms of Niemann and Flores. The resulting collaborations are a work both haunting and uplifting - fuelled by the curiosity of seeing where their burning ambitions will take them.
The material is mainly written by the wonder team Daniel and Angelica - but not without the inspiration spark and input from the other three members - with songs based on personal experiences, movies and books. The collection of material which has been selected for the bands debut album DIVANITY include all from dark subject matters to pure fiction. Kiss of Death takes a glimpse into the state of love where you give up your self for the desire to have or to do something that you know you should avoid while Bleed Me Dry describes the feeling of being different and wanting to go your own way in life. Follow The Rain is all about breaking a pattern from where you make the same mistakes over and over again into becoming a person with control of your life. The track Storms Of The Sea is a beautiful tale of a young woman on her quest around the world to seek her long lost lover and No Evil is the band’s encouragement to embrace the dark rather than being afraid of it.
The grand finale of the album is the larger than life and described by Rylin and Flores as The Murder Of My Sweet’s own “Bohemian Rhapsody” - a track call Death Of A Movie Star. A massive piece of music which will showcase The band’s dynamics with a sense of playfulness by switching from soft, rippling sounds and beats to limitless rage with beautiful melodies. Magnificent layers of voices shake hands with immeasurable capacity of energy.
The band’s aim is to create a distorted film noir vibe and experience - put the wonder, sadness, humor and sheer zest of life into their music tour de force. Playing it to the point where their drama explode - as the music and the words becomes the utmost expression of direct and ecstatic joy of pure being. The name DIVANITY is the bands own expression of diva, divine and vanity - all of them being essential ingredients in their debut album.
Mixed/produced by Flores and proudly mastered at Cutting Room by Swedish phenomenal sound engineer Mats Lindfors (Gorgoroth, Candlemass, Glenn Huges, Talisman), Divanity will be released by Frontiers Records in November 2009. The Murder Of My Sweet is highly excited to be working with such an experienced and talented label as Frontiers and feel extremely privileged to be band mates with bands such as Journey, Toto and Survivor to mention just a few.

The Murder of My Sweet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Adam, I don't know who did this to you. I don't know who they are and how they hurt you. I just know, they will pay, in ways they never thought where possible. Scream for forgiveness and remember my name.
Pandora? Nooooo...
Don't cry cause I'm 6 feet under
I will always be by your side
Don't want this for you.
It's a heavy burden but its only one way forward, onward
Now your legacy I carry
Walking in your shoes
Dad, it's time for the cleansing of these rivers of sin. It's time to avenge the unjustly condemned, an unsung hero in this unmarked grave.
Amen
Paradise will never let me in
Only spotless lives approved
I wouldn't want to ruin your rosen grave
I'm here, its time now
The lyrics of "Six Feet Under" by The Murder of My Sweet delve into themes of revenge, loyalty, and sacrifice. The song opens with a sense of mystery and anger, as the singer expresses their determination to seek justice for someone named Adam who has been hurt by an unknown assailant. They promise that the culprits will face consequences beyond what they could have anticipated.
The mention of "Pandora" adds a layer of despair and hopelessness, as if the situation that led to Adam's suffering is seen as a Pandora's box that is difficult to close. It implies that the pain inflicted runs deep and may have far-reaching repercussions.
The chorus of the song conveys a poignant message. The singer, speaking from beyond the grave, reassures Adam not to mourn for their death because they will always be with them in spirit. They express that their own life was lived in darkness and that they do not want the same for Adam. This can be interpreted as a desire for Adam to find happiness and a brighter future in their absence.
Moving forward, the lyrics suggest that the burden of seeking justice for Adam falls upon the singer. They acknowledge the heaviness of this responsibility but state that there is only one path available to them, compelling them forward. They declare that they will now carry on Adam's legacy and walk in their shoes, implying that they will fight for the justice and redemption that Adam was denied in life.
In the final verse, the singer addresses their father, noting that it is time to cleanse the world of sin and avenge those who have been wrongly condemned. References to unmarked graves and unsung heroes highlight the sense of injustice that pervades the song. The word "Amen" is spoken, indicating an affirmation of their resolve to seek retribution for the wrongs suffered by Adam and others.
The closing lines express a longing for paradise, alluding to the belief that the singer's actions may prevent their entrance into such a world. They reject the idea of tarnishing Adam's peaceful resting place, implying that they will remain present and active in seeking justice in the earthly realm, even if it means sacrificing their own salvation.
Overall, "Six Feet Under" portrays a tale of revenge, loyalty, and sacrifice as the singer pledges to avenge the suffering of Adam and others who have been unjustly treated. It explores the aftermath of tragedy and the determination to fight for justice, even in the face of personal consequences.
