Butcher Babies

Butcher Babies is coming near you with American metal that combines metalcore, groove metal, thrash metal and alternative metal.

Formed in Los Angeles in 2010, the band first gained attention around the dual vocals of Heidi Shepherd and Carla Harvey, before Harvey left the group in 2024. The current lineup is led by Heidi Shepherd, with Henry Flury on guitar and Dave Nickles on drums. Their music has drawn on influences including Pantera, Slayer, Slipknot, Marilyn Manson and Wendy O.

Their debut album Goliath was released through Century Media Records in 2013. It reached number three on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart and number 112 on the Billboard 200 in the United States. The band followed with Take It Like a Man in 2015, Lilith in 2017 and the double album Eye for an Eye… / …’Til the World’s Blind in 2023. Key songs across that catalogue include I Smell a Massacre, Monsters Ball, Never Go Back, Lilith, Bottom of a Bottle, Yorktown, Red Thunder and Beaver Cage.

Following Carla Harvey’s departure, Butcher Babies released the single Sincerity and the Insincerity EP. Discover Butcher Babies and buy your tickets now on Tickets.ca.
