BUTCHER BABIES will release a new single,
"Bottom Of A Bottle", on October 30. The song will be the first taste of the band's forthcoming fourth studio album, tentatively due in early 2021 via an as-yet-undisclosed record label.
Earlier today (Friday, October 23),
BUTCHER BABIES tweeted: "We wrote & recorded
'Bottom of a Bottle' in May2019, so we CAN'T wait for you all to hear it! Out everywhere on 10/30. We're pairing our new single with a
Butcher Babies 10 year anniversary wine.. Butcher Burgundy! All this & MORE on 10/30".
Asked in a recent interview with
Syfy Wire's
"Metal Crush" how
BUTCHER BABIES' new LP differs from 2017's
"Lilith", singer
Heidi Shepherd said: "It differs a lot. You still have the classic
BUTCHER BABIES metal behind us, but I found myself wanting to sing more.
"When I first started
BUTCHER BABIES, I was an angry young girl, and I had a lot to scream about. I'm a happy 35-year-old woman now, so I have a lot that I wanna sing about."
BUTCHER BABIES next album will be the band's first since its split with
Century Media over a year ago.
This past April,
Shepherd told
ELUVEITIE's
"Corona Talk" that "it was a hard decision to part ways with
Century Media." She explained: "Here in the U.S., the label doesn't exactly exist much here anymore,. And so it was a really difficult decision. We were with them for our entire career; we've been a band for 10 years. It just wasn't working here in the States. But we do love our
Century Media family."
"Lilith" was produced by
Steve Evetts (
THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN,
SEPULTURA,
SUICIDE SILENCE) and marked
BUTCHER BABIES' recording debut with drummer
Chase Brickenden, who replaced
Chris Warner in 2016.
In July 2019, longtime
BUTCHER BABIES bassist
Jason Klein announced his departure from the band. He has since been replaced by
Ricky Bonazza.
