Butcher Babies – “Monsters Ball” [YouTube Song Stream]

The Skinny: The Butcher Babies have returned with their most abrasive and aggressive offering yet and while unrelenting, it also delivers crushing grooves backed with extremely catchy hooks. The much-anticipated new offering, Take It Like a Man (Century Media Records) was recorded in the Hollywood Hills with renowned producer Logan Mader (Five Finger Death Punch, Gojira) and it is set for an Aug 21st release.

Butcher Babies kick off a massive European touring run at Download Fest in the UK this weekend and then will join GWAR and Battlecross across North America from Aug 25th to Sept 18th. The new track, “Monster’s Ball,” can be heard now below.

“We all come from different places and backgrounds, but every member of this band had to fight to be the person he or she is today,” affirms co-vocalist Carla Harvey. “That’s the whole basis for the record. It’s not a gender thing. It’s the inner strength you have to find in order to pull your boots up and keep moving forward, whatever the situation may be.”
