The Birthday Massacre are a Canadian synth-rock band formed in 1999 in London, Ontario, now based in Toronto. Built around vocalist Chibi (Sara Taylor) and guitarist Rainbow, the band weaves gothic rock, darkwave and synthpop into a sound defined by the tension between bright melodies and dark lyrical imagery. Their 2005 album Violet broke them to a wider audience, and they have since released ten studio albums on Metropolis Records.
The band released their tenth studio album Pathways on April 11, 2025 on the Metropolis Records label.
In March 2025, a 29-concert North American tour in support of the album Pathways kicked off; the first single Sleep Tonight was released on February 28.
In October and November 2025, the band conducted a British tour with 13 stops, including in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, and London.
In January and February 2026, the band will co-headline the Dark Winter Tour across the USA and Canada with Lord of the Lost and Wednesday 13.
In January 2025, the band provided their fans on Patreon with an exclusive premiere of the music video for the song Blue.
