Violet

The Birthday Massacre

Shimmering 80s-inspired synths collide with heavy industrial guitars and breathy, nocturnal vocals. A purple-hued dreamscape of darkwave and synth-rock.

It's like if an 80s pop star fronted an industrial metal band in a haunted toy store.

A hauntingly beautiful blend of childhood nostalgia and nocturnal mystery.
