Heavy metal squad Butcher Babies is ready to liven up the joint with their brand new track ‘It’s Killin’ Time, Baby!’ featuring guest vocalist Craig Mabbitt (Escape The Fate). The single was inspired by the DC Comics character, Lobo, a heavy metal bounty hunter. It was recorded by Matt Good (From First To Last) and will be featured on their upcoming self-released EP. “I can’t think of a better song to release the day before we hit the road on our first tour in over two years,” exclaims co-vocalist Carla Harvey. “It’s killin time, baby…in more ways than one!! As a lifelong comic book aficionado, it was so much fun to write a song based on one of my favorite characters, the bounty huntin’ space cowboy himself, Lobo. When Heidi and I were penning the lyrics we thought, are we really writing a song about a Bastitch on a Spaz Frag? Hell yes, because just like Lobo, we like a good time. It was also a cool new experience for us to throw another singer in the mix for this one! Craig Mabbit’s screams add another level to this banger…enjoy!” “HOLY FRAGG, SPACE HOG!,” shouts co-vocalist Heidi Shepherd. “We are fraggin’ stoked to bring to you our latest banger, ‘It’s Killin’ Time, Baby!’ inspired by the Main Man himself, Lobo! This bounty hunter, biker has a way of stealing even the blackest of hearts. Between breaking legs and breaking hearts, Lobo embodies the Heavy Metal attitude we all need in 2021! We were so lucky to have our buddy, the very talented, Craig Mabbitt from Escape The Fate and Dead Rabbits, join us in this jam! Our incredible producer, Matt Good, brought this comic-themed dream to life and we CAN NOT wait for you to hear it and then rock it LIVE in the pit!!” [via Outburn]

Japanese metal band BRIDEAR has released their new track ‘Brave New World Revisited’ along with an accompanying music video. The release of the song celebrates and commemorates the band’s return to international touring in September and October for their Into The Dark Forever UK and European tour, making them the first Japanese band to perform overseas post-pandemic.’Brave New World Revisited’ is an 8-minute-long showcase displaying the metallic sonic assault and stunning technical prowess that the band is capable of. The longest composition in their catalog, the track is brimming with all the characteristics that made their debut international release Bloody Bride alluring. Speaking about the single, bassist Haru shared, “We wanted to make a new song and make the tour a success as the first Japanese band to go on a European tour after the Corona crisis. The composition is the most challenging we have done, and the longest song in our history, but it’s fun to listen to all of the detail and the lyrics convey our feelings during this time.” Lead vocalist Kimi added, “Entertainment as a whole is being denounced, but the theme of this song is to raise our voices as one and re-enter a brave new world. We will continue to go forward! Please come to see us and support us as we come back overseas and revisit this brave new world!” [via Vacancy]

Hot Milk have shared another song from their upcoming EP I Just Wanna Know What Happens When I'm Dead and it's an absolute rager. It's called 'Split Personality' and is a rough and raucous piece of pop-rock fury that details the push and pull that comes with wanting to live different parts of your life in different ways. Let the band explain: "Well well well...... this song is about getting lost in the bubble-gum delirium of living in a city where naughty temptation is a constant wolf at the door." says Han Mee.  "It’s about the mood swings between wanting to get absolutely annihilated or having a nice roast dinner and a pot of tea. It’s about being caught up in an atmosphere of wanting to see how far we can push our bodies and wanting to be sedated. Like who even are we? I don’t know…” [via Rock Sound]
