Walking With Strangers

The Birthday Massacre

A nocturnal blend of shimmering 80s synths and heavy industrial guitars. Breathy vocals glide through a dense, neon-lit atmosphere of darkwave melancholy.

It is like the soundtrack to a dark 80s fantasy movie that was actually filmed in 2007.

A shimmering, nocturnal melancholy that feels both dangerous and comforting.
