The Birthday Massacre Unveil 'Hide And Seek' Album Details

Canadian synth rock outfit The Birthday Massacre have revealed the details of their up and coming fifth album ‘Hide and Seek’.
Once again mixed by Rainbow and Dave Ogilvie (Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails, Killing Joke, Marilyn Manson) - who worked with the band on their last two albums - the brand new album is set for a release on October 8th.
‘Hide and Seek’ sees The Birthday Massacre deliver the ideal soundtrack to all our collective childhood angst… another mesmerizing invitation into the band’s trademark darkly colourful wonderland comprised of electro pop, gothic, New Wave, and an atmosphere that mingles youthful imagination with quirky gothic visions that could easily have sprung from the creative mind of cult director Tim Burton.
“We wanted ‘Hide and Seek’ to have a certain depth and atmosphere, so we took time to create a lot of new sound textures that would complement running throughout it”, explains guitarist Rainbow. “In turn, the lyrics are decidedly darker and more meditative than much of our past work which gives this album a lot of emotional weight and a very distinct tone”.
Frontman Chibi adds: “We always want to be growing and moving forward. We have a formula for working together, writing and recording, that works – but as we grow and change as people, so will what we create. This records, as always, reflects who and where we are this moment in our lives and with each other”.
