Forever Dark is 6 Music's weekly exploration of dark music across all genres and eras. The music you hear is predominantly sonically dark but will also delve into dark content and lyrics. Each genre has dark elements within it and this programme attempts to touch across this broad, wonderful and powerful spectrum of music. Come join us on the dark side, all are welcome.
