Butcher Babies, an alternative metal band, recently released their debut track online following their split from co-vocalist Carla Harvey in July. The band has released the studio version of “Sincerity,” which they have also been playing live lately, with Heidi Shepherd currently the only member in the front of the group. Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, P.O.D.) and Neil Sanderson, drummer for Three Days Grace, oversaw the single’s production through their Judge & Jury production company. The aforementioned pair’s Judge and Jury Records also reveal the track.
‘Sincerity‘ is wishful thinking in that someone you trusted had been sincere and delicate with your feelings and emotions rather than used to feed their own ego and benefit. The tag line, ‘the lies we can’t survive’, stems from a relationship that has been fought for over and over again but, ultimately, can not be fixed. After years of a pathological liar looking you in the eyes and offering up intentional and insincere promises, this song touches on those eyes being the ‘eyes that lie’ These new songs are written and produced with a purpose to show growth and maturity within the band. They are bound to invoke an emotional rollercoaster between looking toward the future with hope while reminiscing of past losses. Heidi Shepherd
