She responded (as transcribed by&nbsp;<strong>BLABBERMOUTH.NET<\/strong>): &#8220;Yes. Absolutely. There&#8217;s actually a double album coming out this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We took 2019 off of touring to write and record an album that we were set to release in 2020, and, obviously, the world died \u2014 it was basically a fend-for-yourself moment,&#8221; she explained. &#8220;So we put everything on hold and we decided to use that time to write. And so we wrote a\u00a0<em>ton<\/em>\u00a0during that time. And so we decided to put the album on hold and go and record more. So now we have a double album coming at you this summer\u2026 And I&#8217;m so excited for people to hear all of this music that we&#8217;ve made within the span of the last four years. In fact, this morning we got the final mix to one song that&#8217;s just finished. So you&#8217;re gonna hear stuff we wrote in 2019, and then you&#8217;re gonna hear stuff that we wrote and just finished last week.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe title=\"Butcher Babies- &quot;BEAVER CAGE&quot; (Official Music Video)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/r2rdf_oKXoA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Asked if&nbsp;<strong>BUTCHER BABIES<\/strong>&#8216; recently released single&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Beaver Cage&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;is a good representation of what fans can expect to hear on the upcoming LP,&nbsp;<strong>Heidi<\/strong>&nbsp;said: &#8220;There&#8217;s&nbsp;<em>a lot<\/em>&nbsp;going on [the upcoming double album]. Because this was written in two different parts, I think you&#8217;re gonna hear a lot of different sides to&nbsp;<strong>BUTCHER BABIES<\/strong>. But I would say overall&nbsp;<strong>&#8216;Beaver Cage&#8217;<\/strong>&nbsp;is a great representation of the album. There&#8217;s a lot of&nbsp;<em>really<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>really<\/em>&nbsp;dark stuff on this album \u2014 we haven&#8217;t done that in a while; there&#8217;s&nbsp;<em>really<\/em>&nbsp;dark stuff \u2014 but then there&#8217;s also really playful stuff, like&nbsp;<strong>&#8216;Beaver Cage&#8217;<\/strong>. So I think that this is a really great representation of not just the album but the band too.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this month,&nbsp;<strong>Heidi<\/strong>&nbsp;told&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/heavy.nyc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Heavy New York<\/a>&nbsp;that songwriting definitely does not get easier as she and her bandmates get more albums under their belts. &#8220;I think that there&#8217;s something to be said about evolving,&#8221; she said. &#8220;[<strong>BUTCHER BABIES<\/strong>&#8216; debut album]&nbsp;<strong>&#8216;Goliath&#8217;<\/strong>&nbsp;was 10 years ago; I&#8217;m a totally different human than I was 10 years ago. I&#8217;ve experienced, I feel, a whole lifetime of stuff, touring the world multiple times over with my friends. I&#8217;m just kind of deciding what to even touch on. And especially whereas\u2026 in the industry, people say, &#8216;Oh, you need to be doing this now.&#8217; &#8216;Oh, you need to do this. This is gonna make you successful. You need to transition into this way, that way, this way, this way, that way.&#8217; So kind of maintaining the integrity of what you want to create, I think, is a lot harder album to album to album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;In this band, I&#8217;m super grateful for having the bandmembers that we have because we love to experiment and try different things,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;And on this [upcoming fourth&nbsp;<strong>BUTCHER BABIES<\/strong>] album you&#8217;ll hear some of the softest stuff we&#8217;ve ever done\u2026 A lot of these songs have been released, like&nbsp;<strong>&#8216;Bottom Of The Bottle&#8217;<\/strong>, which is a total radio song, and that was a song that I went in with the intention and totally [said], &#8216;This is the kind of song that I wanna write for this.&#8217; And then you&#8217;ll hear songs like&nbsp;<strong>&#8216;Beaver Cage&#8217;<\/strong>, where it&#8217;s wild and chaotic. So I&#8217;m excited that we have bandmembers that let us experiment in that way. But when it came to deciding what kind of album we really, really wanted to do, we ended up with a double album because we kind of had two different directions that we really wanted to showcase.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Heidi<\/strong>&nbsp;went on to say that&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Beaver Cage&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;is &#8220;quirky, it&#8217;s silly, it&#8217;s fun, and I think the whole album really reflects that. But the album has a dark side as well,&#8221; she revealed. &#8220;And something that we&#8217;re very excited about is showing these different sides of&nbsp;<strong>BUTCHER BABIES<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;When [2017&#8217;s]&nbsp;<strong>&#8216;Lilith&#8217;<\/strong>&nbsp;came out, I actually had quit smoking immediately after that album, so my voice changed&nbsp;<em>so<\/em>&nbsp;much between then and now. So you get to really hear the fun ranges I was able to discover in my voice after quitting smoking.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BUTCHER BABIES<\/strong>&nbsp;fourth studio album was recently completed with producer&nbsp;<strong>Josh Schroeder<\/strong>&nbsp;(<strong>LORNA SHORE<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>KING 810<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last October,&nbsp;<strong>BUTCHER BABIES<\/strong>&nbsp;shared the official music video for their cover version of rapper&nbsp;<strong>Saweetie<\/strong>&#8216;s chart-topping single&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Best Friend&#8221;<\/strong>. The clip was directed by&nbsp;<strong>Dale &#8220;Rage&#8221; Resteghini<\/strong>&nbsp;and was filmed at the Bare Den adult entertainment club in Newton, New Jersey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BUTCHER BABIES<\/strong>&nbsp;have been performing their cover of&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Best Friend&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;at their recent live shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;Lilith&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0was produced by\u00a0<strong>Steve Evetts<\/strong>\u00a0(<strong>THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>SEPULTURA<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>SUICIDE SILENCE<\/strong>) and marked the band&#8217;s recording debut with drummer\u00a0<strong>Chase Brickenden<\/strong>, who replaced\u00a0<strong>Chris Warner<\/strong>\u00a0in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>n July 2019, longtime&nbsp;<strong>BUTCHER BABIES<\/strong>&nbsp;bassist&nbsp;<strong>Jason Klein<\/strong>&nbsp;announced his departure from the band.
