Eye for an Eye... / ...'Til the World's Blind are the fourth and fifth albums by the American heavy metal band Butcher Babies. They were released on July 7, 2023, through Century Media Records and were produced by Josh Schroeder, known for his work with Lorna Shore and King 810.[6] They are the band's first releases with bassist Ricky Bonazza, replacing longtime member Jason Klein and the final releases to feature drummer Chase Brickenden, who was replaced by Blake Bailey in 2023 and vocalist Carla Harvey before her departure in July 20, 2024.
Eye for an Eye... contains six tracks, with most of them previously released as singles since 2020 and display a lighter and "poppier" sound. ...'Til the World's Blind features 14 tracks that show a darker and heavier sound.[7]
Background
[edit | edit source]Two singles from ...'Til the World's Blind were released ahead of its release. "Red Thunder" was released on May 16, 2023. The lyrics for that single, written by vocalists Heidi Shepherd and Carla Harvey, were inspired by Carla's sister Julia, who was born with microcephaly and died from it at a young age.[8] "Last December" was released on June 9, 2023. The song was written in April 2020 in a Zoom meeting between Shepherd, Harvey, guitarist Henry Flury, and writer Blair Daly, inspired by Shepherd's experience with suicidal ideation in December 2019.[9]
