Details:
The Birthday Massacre officially formed in 2000, known as Imagica. In 2001, they relocated to Toronto and renamed themselves The Birthday Massacre. Nothing and Nowhere, their first album, was released independently in July of 2002. In July 2004, they self released the EP, Violet. Metropolis Records took notice of the band and is now releasing Violet as an album with four extra tracks. The Birthday Massacre’s sound blends different genres of music, but maintains a retro cinematic flavor. Mixing themes of horror and tragedy with fun and satire, the band creates a unique and versatile sound by combining new wave and hard rock elements. With the fusion of keyboards and guitars, the lyrics tell a story which creates an emotional tone full of darkness and tragedy. Violet is a deeply moving album sure to make you want to hear more from this up and coming act. Released August 9th, 2005 on Metropolis Records
