A formidable force in metal for decades, Butcher Babies is embarking on their latest chapter with the release of their single “Sincerity”, a track rooted in wishful thinking. The lyrics dive into trusting someone to be delicate with your feelings, but rather having used those emotions to feed their own ego and benefit. Butcher Babies continues to evolve, pushing boundaries and challenging the norms of the hard rock genre.
On the new single, Heidi Shepherd adds “Over the last decade and a half, Butcher Babies has become known for our aggression and soaring melodies. This new release is no different. Diving into real-life experiences and expectations while exposing the rawest part of our souls, this single is bound to invoke an emotional rollercoaster between looking toward the future with hope while reminiscing of past losses.”
Though a release date has yet to be confirmed, there are more plans for new music. Future releases will be available via Judge & Jury Records, a powerhouse record label and production company founded by multi-platinum producer Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Seether, Skillet, Of Mice & Men) and Neil Sanderson of Three Days Grace. The instrumentation was meticulously crafted by Benson and Sanderson at West Valley Recording Studios, Benson’s studio in Woodland Hills.
On the signing to Judge & Jury Records, Howard Benson shares “I have always been a fan of the band and never really thought we’d get a chance to work with them! I especially love Heidi’s vocal range and ability to weave compelling stories through her music. Excited Judge & Jury got to do this music together with her and Henry, and for the fans to hear it!”
