Butcher Babies have released a promo for the track Monsters Ball.
It’s lifted from their upcoming second album Take It Like A Man which will be released on August 21 via Century Media Records.
Heidi Shepherd says of the track: “We wanted to use the swingy feel of the song to create a jazz type club scene. A Monsters Ball is how we describe the pit.
“Being an adult who always has and still thrives in the pit, I’ve always seen it as a carnival of monsters where it doesn’t matter what you look like, where you came from, what you do for a living or your sexual orientation. We’re all the same monsters there for the same reason – to rock the fuck out!”
Last month Shepherd and Carla Harvey revealed they let their emotions get the better of them when recording the album which they’ve previously described as a return to their “thrashy” roots.
Butcher Babies played this month’s Download and will begin their European tour next month before a run of dates with Gwar and Battlecross in the US.
Further album details will be issued in due course.
