Death Becomes Her — An Interview With Trve Darkwave Artist Die Tödin on Her Self-Titled Compilation via Heartworm Press

Die Tödin is a darkwave artist from Gelsenkirchen, Germany, who creates music using a microphone, MIDI controller, and Ableton. She addresses themes of death, mental illness, and suicidality through lyrics in German and English, sometimes incorporating Spanish. Her project is distinct from her other work as Strobo.Lolita, which prioritizes raw emotion over lyrical content. A self-titled compilation of nine recordings from 2022–2025 will be released by Heartworm Press on October 30, 2026. Die Tödin’s name deliberately feminizes the German word for death. She begins songs with basslines and beats before adding vocals, often using the first take. Her lyrics openly address psychiatric medication, therapy, and self-harm, rejecting concealment of mental illness. She collaborated closely with Heartworm Press founder Wesley Eisold to ensure the release served her artistic vision.
