 The Birthday Massacre have announced a UK tour to promote their new album, ‘Under Your Spell’. The itinerary is as follows : 24.10.17 LONDON O2 Academy Islington 25.10.17 MANCHESTER Ruby Lounge 27.10.17 EDINBURGH Opium 28.10.17 WHITBY Goth Festival 29.10.17 GLASGOW Ivory Blacks 31.10.17 BRISTOL Fleece 01.11.17 READING Sub 89 02.11.17 SOUTHAMPTON Engine Rooms 03.11.17 WOLVERHAMPTON Slade Rooms Further details will be announced in due course. ‘Under Your Spell' was released on 9th June by Metropolis Records. ‘Under Your Spell’ is the 7th album by the Birthday Massacre, and with it comes eleven songs that reveal a side of the Canadian band that audiences may not be familiar with. Driven with the band’s signature, unique blend of spiralling synth melodies, walls of guitar and evocative vocals, the new songs range from dark, aggressive anthems to danceable, pretty pop and hit all the bases that audiences have come to expect. However, there is also a rawness to the emotion expressed, an openness and vulnerability that feels new. One thing that is clearer than ever, however, is the tight bond that exists between the band members and their willingness to explore heartbreak and loss together. With these songs, they have entered the darkness of their most fragile emotions and returned with a cohesive and detailed musical portrait that captures both the anger and hope that exist within a moment in time. The Birthday Massacre continue to make music that is unique to them, once again managing to create an album that somehow feels so familiar, yet challenges the listener to continue alongside them on their ever-changing, ever-growing journey. thebirthdaymassacre.com  With the new album "Rise And Shine" recently released (27th of January 2017) and with the band having recently finished a major North American Tour with multi-platinum selling band Amaranthe, Smash Into Pieces now return to tour Scandinavia and Europe.
