💀 Celldweller Warps the Holidays with An Offworld Christmas — Out Now via FiXT

Blending cybernetic sleigh bells, industrial frostbite, and Celldweller’s unmistakable offworld sound design, this release reframes Christmas through a darker cosmic lens. It’s festive… but from a timeline where the stars sing back.

The Birthday Massacre Unveil New Single “Sleep Tonight” Ahead of Upcoming Album “Pathways” 🌙🎶

Canadian dark pop and gothic rock pioneers, The Birthday Massacre, return with their latest single, “Sleep Tonight”, offering a haunting glimpse into their forthcoming album, “Pathways”, set for release on April 11, 2025, via Metropolis Records.

“Sleep Tonight” is a song about being haunted by our own ghosts, the band shares. Memories and regrets follow us as we try to find comfort. Even the most familiar and safe places can feel sinister as we wrestle with feelings we often bury deep within ourselves.

The song’s dreamlike atmosphere, eerie synth work, and powerful yet melancholic vocals mark a return to the signature storytelling style that has defined the band’s sound for over two decades.
