DEATH B¥ LØVE weaves gothic, industrial, and trip-hop sensibilities into a singular sonic language, enriched by evocative Middle Eastern vocal textures. The project brings together Peter Guellard—whose decades-long presence in the U.S. dark-electronic underground includes work with The Electric Hellfire Club, Closterkeller, and Blitzkrieg—and Inga Habiba, whose distinctive, spiritually charged voice has been shaped by a multicultural heritage and a long career fronting gothic and new-wave acts in Poland.
A genuinely transatlantic duo, DEATH B¥ LØVE creates across continents through digital collaboration and embraces a multimedia approach to performance—pushing the concept of live presentation to its limits, even incorporating holographic presence on stage.
The enigmatic duo DEATH B¥ LØVE returns with 444, a daring concept album that defies genre boundaries while plunging listeners deep into shadow and transcendence. A collision of goth, industrial, trip hop, and heavy Middle-Eastern influences, 444 is more than a record — it is a ritual of survival, transformation, and paradox. The journey began in October 2024, when Inga and Peter converged in Warsaw, Poland, to record the first tracks: “Strong Inside” and “Temros.” Both songs were captured alongside cinematic music videos. Temros later appeared on Metropolis Records’ compilation Electronic Saviors 7, while Strong Inside emerged as the first single on the American label Distortion Productions— setting the tone for what would become an ambitious 11-track cycle. Crafted over the course of an entire year of transatlantic collaboration, 444 came to life through relentless back-and-forth file exchanges, a painstaking process that mirrors the album’s themes of endurance, distance, and connection.
From the brooding trip hop of “Cosmic Power” to the industrial weight of “I Don’t”, and the spectral intimacy of “Sellenno”, the record moves between extremes — despair and transcendence, fragility and force. Arabic scales and gothic atmospheres fuse with distorted electronics and hypnotic rhythms, crafting a soundscape that feels at once ancient and futuristic. 444 is not casual listening; it is an immersive, genre-bending dark odyssey.
