Butcher Babies‘ “Monsters Ball” music video has premiered online and is available below. Director Dan Dobi (Paramore, Set Your Goals) helmed the video, which frontwoman Heidi Shepherd had the following to say of:
“The moment I spoke with director, Dan Dobi, about the ideas we had for a literal Monsters Ball, he jumped at them and began tossing even more great ideas into the melting pot. 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, your sexual orientation, etc. We’re all the same monsters there for the same reason; to rock the fuck out! This song is about the beautiful, positive energy at a metal show.
Too many times, mainstream media makes these shows out to be dangerous and evil, but what they don’t know is that we are a big family who in that moment will do anything for each other. A family who rocks together, inevitably stays together. That’s our Monsters Ball.”
An August 21st release date has been revealed for the bands forthcoming new album “Take It Like A Man” via Century Media.
