Fascination

The Birthday Massacre

Shimmering 80s-inspired synths meet heavy, distorted guitars and breathy vocals. A nocturnal blend of darkwave and synth-rock for moonlit drives and rainy nights.

It's like the soundtrack to a 1980s dark fantasy film that was actually filmed in 2022.

A shimmering, purple-hued nocturnal fantasy that balances heavy industrial weight with delicate synth-pop nostalgia.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The title track's opening synth swell that feels like a curtain rising on a dream
The sudden transition from delicate keys to crushing guitar riffs in Cold Lights
The way the vocal harmonies expand during the soaring chorus of Stars and Satellites
