6 Music takes you to the dark side with the finest goth, electronic and dark pop music.

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 also delves into dark content and lyrics. Each genre has dark elements within it and this programme attempts to touch this broad, wonderful and powerful spectrum of music. Come join us on the dark side, where all are welcome.

Produced by BBC Audio for BBC Radio 6 Music.
