Butcher Babies, the band led by vocalists Carla Harvey and Heidi Shepherd, have premiered their new single “It’s Killin’ Time Baby!“, which features a guest spot from Escape The Fate vocalist Craig Mabbitt. The song is inspired by the DC Comics‘ interstellar bounty hunter Lobo and the group had the following to say about it in the official press release:

“HOLY FRAGG, SPACE HOG! We are fraggin’ stoked to bring to you our latest banger, ‘It’s Killin’ Time, Baby!‘ inspired by the Main Man himself, Lobo! Comin’ atchya on August 27th. This bounty hunter, biker has a way of stealing even the blackest of hearts. Between breaking legs and breaking hearts, Lobo embodies the Heavy Metal attitude we all need in 2021!


We were so lucky to have our buddy, the very talented, @craig.mabbitt from @EscapeTheFate and @deadrabbittsig , join us in this jam! Our incredible producer, @MattG00d, brought this comic themed dream to life and we CAN NOT wait for you to hear it!”
