LOSE CONTROL
SO I CAN FEEL
SURRENDER TO
YOUR HUMAN NEEDS
German outfit Bleak Monday births a brittle, brooding brew of bending synths and scalded strings, each note needling through nervous air like a thin, trembling wire. Within this crooked cathedral—its once-pious pillars long past their prime—their voices coil and constrict, binding our minds in tight knots of trembling tension. Here, fear and fever, anguish and arousal, exist in grim embrace beneath dim rafters and chipped frescoes. Every chord crackles, every pulse pounds, every shriek shivers like some broken choir of chained cherubs. In this teetering temple, they trade warmth for rawness, comfort for craving, whispering with wounded breaths that nothing remains but these fervent fractures of feeling.
It’s time to talk about Bleak Monday’s latest single, Human Needs. From behind cracked microphones, Kim’s throat thrashes. Yann’s strings slash and scald. Hubu’s synths and beats churn like thick tar. They call it Synthwave Industrial—a name that slides along the brain’s back alley like black oil. This is their crooked communion, a harsh hymn for the world’s final feast.
This intense ode to the joys of BDSM conjures a brutal interplay of dominance and submission, merging pain, pleasure, and raw instinct. Erotic surrender becomes a necessity, calling forth obedience, reverence, and unwavering devotion. Control and transformation permeate each line, framing sexuality as a clandestine rite that dares listeners to abandon comfort and embrace their most forbidden cravings.
Meet your Human Needs below and let the demons have their way with you. While you’re coming back down to earth, you can also order the single here.
