Alternative metal outfit Butcher Babies are newly streaming their first single since parting ways with co-vocalist Carla Harvey in July. With Heidi Shepherd now solely at the front of the group, the band have issued the studio version of “Sincerity” — a song they’ve also been performing live lately.
Shepherd commented:
“‘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.”
Production for the single was overseen by Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, P.O.D.) and Three Days Grace drummer Neil Sanderson under their Judge & Jury production house. The track also emerges through the aforementioned pair’s Judge And Jury Records.
