Formed in Los Angeles nearly 15 years ago, Heavy Metal outfit Butcher Babies are also celebrating the 10-year anniversary of their debut 2013 album Goliath (Century Media) this July. Their upcoming double album, Eye For an Eye and ‘Til The World’s Blind, arrives July 7th, 2023.
The project announcement was accompanied by the new single/music video “Red Thunder,” a return to the band’s Metalcore and Thrash roots. Now, they have also revealed the single “Last December” which was co-Produced by Butcher Babies guitarist Henry Flury and Josh Schroeder (Lorna Shore, In Hearts Wake) at Random Awesome Studios.
Co-vocalist Carla Harvey comments on the double album:
Each album was recorded in a vastly different climate that I’m certain gave each its own distinct vibe. ‘Eye For An Eye…’ was made in a sun-drenched Arizona desert, while during the recording of ‘…’Til The World’s Blind,’ the band was holed up, making music in the dead of winter in Midland, Michigan. You can hear the warmth in ‘Eye for an Eye…’ and the cold desolation in ‘…‘Til The World’s Blind.’ Together they encompass light and dark, fire and ice. And in my opinion, you need both elements to make something truly great.
Butcher Babies are setting off on their headlining European tour, including stops at some of metal’s biggest festivals including Graspop Metal Meeting (BE) and Resurrection Fest (ES). Following their return stateside in July, they’ll headline two dates in the South as they make their way to join Mudvayne, Coal Chamber, GWAR and Nonpoint across the U.S. on “The Psychotherapy Sessions” tour from July 20–August 26.
