Canadian dark pop act The Birthday Massacre released new single entitled ‘Sleep Tonight’ on 28th February 2025, the first to be issued from their upcoming album ‘Pathways’, which is set for release on 11th April via Metropolis Records.


'Sleep Tonight' is a song about being haunted by our own ghosts,” the band explain. “Memories and regrets follow us as we try to find comfort. Even the most familiar and safe places can feel sinister as we wrestle with these feelings that we often bury deep within ourselves.”

The group will commence a 29 date North American tour on 28th March, with a further 13 shows already confirmed in the UK from 24th October. Full venue and ticket details for both tours are available HERE.

The Birthday Massacre is a Canadian gothic and electronic rock band formed in 1999. They gained widespread recognition with their 2005 breakout album ‘Violet’, featuring standout songs ’Blue’ and ‘Happy Birthday’ that cemented their signature sound - a hypnotic blend of eerie, ethereal melodies and heavy, driving riffs.


 The Birthday Massacre has intricately woven captivating new chapters into their hauntingly beautiful lore over subsequent years. ‘Under Your Spell’ (2017) and ‘Diamonds’ (2020) immersed listeners in their unique blend of dark whimsy and nostalgic melancholy, while their most recent Billboard charting album ‘Fascination’ (2022) further exemplified their mastery of atmospheric storytelling, presenting a soundscape that feels both familiar and transformative.


With each new release expanding the band's universe through lush, cinematic production and deeply emotive lyrics, The Birthday Massacre continue to remain a permanent fixture in the dark pop and gothic rock scenes, beloved for their dynamic live performances and enduring artistry.
