In 2005, the band signed to Metropolis Records and re-released "Violet". In August, the band began a series of international tours taking them to Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Spain and UK. Also in August the band released a DVD with the video for "Blue" by Dan Ouellette. Owen joined on keyboards first assuming the name Waffles, then O-en, then finally using his given name. Owen previously met the Birthday Massacre when playing in another band called Electric Knife Fight and joined just after the "Blue" filming was completed and therefore missed making an appearance in the video. On New Year's Eve the band performed in Los Angeles, California, at Bar Sinister.
