THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE
'Diamonds' METROPOLIS RECORDS With two brand new members filling the long-filled bassist and drum quarters, The Birthday Massacre once again do not disappoint. Arguably with 'Diamonds' they've stripped back some of the elements they've used in the past and buffered up their background sound, leading to a thumping bassline locking horns with cracking riffs and Chibi's unmistakable vocals flowing over like crashing tides... this sound is as structurally solid as a diamond. It goes without saying that despite these relative adjustments, the core atmosphere The Birthday Massacre has delivered over a illustrious 21 years has remained untethered. 'Diamonds' brings the best of the post-punk swagger that Siousxie & The Banshees delivered and is sprinkled vivaciously with the glitz, synths and gothic aesthetics that make The Birthday Massacre who they are.
