SHADE – “Brain Suck”

THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE cuts “DIAMONDS” for release on March 27th… on Tour!
“The night is short. It weighs heavy, but the light always awaits us,” begins the tagline from vocalist Chibi about THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE’s eighth album DIAMONDS (Metropolis Records; release date: March 27, 2020). A darkly poetic line which could easily describe the band and their music. While often exploring the lower octaves with minor chords and midnight dance beats, there is always a shining beacon of hope and light within.
An exciting series of dark and light moments that is a trademark of the band’s music, Diamonds explores themes of heartbreak to anguish and from lust to love. “Diamonds is a current reflection of where Falcore, Chibi, and I are at creatively,” says guitarist Rainbow. “For my part, I think the lyrics are quite contemplative and philosophical. Underneath the surreal metaphors and imagery are some very raw and personal sentiments.”
Oakland’s Whiskerman Announce LP & Single/Video for “Belly of the Beast”
“The video, directed by Ariana Carrera and Mylee Blake, is a trip of surreal proportions, featuring Patzner singing to a group of Gothed-out zombie-like listeners in an underground head shop, where potent hallucinogens are freely dispensed, resulting in wildly frenetic behavior, including dancing, strange head movements, and mirrored screaming. The Mad Hatter looks like a three-year-old at a church picnic compared to the mind-blowing visuals. “Belly of the Beast” is powerfully visceral, full of anabolic guitars, a relentlessly pulsating rhythm, and the musical flair of Whiskerman.” – Tattoo
