"Love Crime" is a song by Siouxsie. Her first release in eight years, was featured in the finale of the TV series Hannibal, broadcast in August 2015. Series creator Bryan Fuller, who had contacted her in November 2014, described the song (composed by Siouxsie with Brian Reitzell) as "epic".
On recording the song, Siouxsie has stated:
"Since those wonderful shows at The Royal Festival Hall in 2013, it’s been a frustrating stop start to feed my soul and make some new music. Then along came a tasty morsel from Brian Reitzell working on the soundtrack for the final Hannibal series. I was already a huge fan and before I knew it, I was taking a nibble out of Hannibal and getting stuck in. Thank you Hannibal – at long last my appetite is back again."
The song was made available for digital download on 04 December 2015, titled as "Love Crime (Amuse-Bouche Version)".
"Love Crime" (retitled "Love Crime from the Wrath of the Lamb") was included on Hannibal Season 3 - Vol. 2 (Original Television Soundtrack), issued by Lakeshore Records in digital format on 11 December 2015, and on CD in January 2016. A double vinyl edition, licensed from Lakeshore, was issued by Invada Records on 27 May 2016, on both black vinyl and blue vinyl (the latter being only available on the label website).
