Story of Butcher Babies

Butcher Babies, the Los Angeles-based heavy metal band, exploded onto the scene with a ferocious blend of metal, punk, and thrash. Fronted by the powerhouse vocalist Heidi Shepherd, and featuring guitarist Henry Flury (formerly of Amen), bassist Ricky Bonazza, and drummer Devin Nickles, their sound has been compared to Pantera, infused with the theatrical horror showmanship of Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie.

Their debut album, Goliath, released in July 2013 via Century Media Records, made a significant impact, selling 3,300 copies in its first week in the US. This impressive showing landed them at #3 on the Billboard Heatseeker chart and #112 on the Billboard 200.

Butcher Babies' journey began in 2010, founded by vocalists Heidi Shepherd and Carla Harvey. They self-released their first EP in 2011, further establishing their presence with a self-published comic book released at San Diego Comic-Con in July 2011, written by Harvey and illustrated by Anthony Winn. Even early on, their live performances were legendary, with rock journalist Keith Valcourt noting their "loud, crashing blend of heavy metal, punk and thrash," and their captivating stage show, a clear nod to horror-rock icons.
