Blood on the Silver Screen is the third studio album by the American musician Sasami. A pop record, it follows her 2022 hard rock and industrial metal album Squeeze and her eponymous 2019 indie rock debut. In 2022, Sasami alternated between writing from her home in rural northern California and recording with the pop producers Jennifer Decilveo and Rostam Batmanglij in Los Angeles; the album was mostly completed by the end of that year. Before writing the album, she used her classical training to study pop as a genre, listening to artists like Britney Spears, Adele, Rihanna, and Lady Gaga. The album is structured around a core protagonist created by Sasami moving between a different film genre or setting in each track. Critics have stated that it covers themes of love, lust, and emotions. The album was released on March 7, 2025, by Domino to generally positive reviews, with critics citing Sasami's songwriting and production.
