about
The Brides of the Black Room is an artistic collective existing for the sole purpose of serving our eternal Mother. The harder the outside world has tried to destroy, the harder the collective has become. For every blow, they have grown stronger.
The voice of the debut track 'Ambulance' was Ginger Khan, AKA Tom Åsberg (formerly of the acclaimed synth band Priest). He tells us: “In the vast nothingness that is existence even pure unhinged chaos sometimes needs direction. For the time being I´ve found mine right here in the black room”
On sophomore single ‘All That I Have Left of You is Missing’, Ginger Khan is back on lead vocals, but this time we encounter a new voice alongside his powerful presence. Former pop-phenomenon Cilia steps out of the shadows to deliver this dramatic duet, and makes a surprising comeback to her earlier pop career.
In 2015 and 2016 Cilia was a bright young beacon of hope on the pop-star sky, with her remarkable singles 'Silhouettes in Slow Motion' and 'Hardcore Heartbreak' receiving high praise, Cilia was soaring high on the streaming charts and claiming the attention of several international pop blogs the likes PopJustice.
The Brides of the Black Room now presents a track overflowing with dark and dramatic sweeping synths steadily building into a cinematic climax, with the two lead vocals repeatedly chanting “I don’t wanna forget you” in a heart-cutting jumble of crystal clear sound.
"All that I Have Left of You is Missing" drops on all platforms January 8, 2020 via Icons Creating Evil Art.

LYRICS
Oh no, it’s said and done
No more reasons to pretend
We know it’s already gone
There’s nothing left for us to mend
So slow I realise
What I have to wake up to
My heart beats like dynamite
Cause all I had was me and you
And I don’t wanna forget, I don’t wanna forget you
No I don’t wanna forget, I don’t wanna forget you
I should let you go but my heart’s not listening
Cause all that I have left of you is missing
You say ”I think it’s us
And you that’s wrong with me”
You leave me to carry the cross
Of all that could have been
You fall out, I’m falling back
You’re so close but far away
The ground beneath’s about to crack
I wish I had something to say
And I don’t wanna forget, I don’t wanna forget you
No I don’t wanna forget, I don’t wanna forget you
I should let you go but my heart’s not listening
Cause all that I have left of you is missing
I don’t wanna forget, I don’t wanna forget you
I don’t wanna forget, I don’t wanna forget you
I should let you go but my heart’s not listening
And all that I have left of you is missing
