Butcher Babies Releases Song About Hypocrisy, Sleeping With The Enemy
JAKARTA - Butcher Babies released the official music video for their latest single, Sleeping with the Enemy. The song is the second version of the band's upcoming EP (mini album) slated for release later this year via an as yet undisclosed record label.
Butcher Babies vocalist Carla Harvey said Sleeping with the Enemy was one of the most vulnerable songs they had written.
"It's a song about 'have your own crap' ... because the first step in change is always admitting there's a problem, right?" Harvey said quoted from Blabbermouth, Tuesday, January 26.
Meanwhile, another vocalist, Heidi Shepherd added, this song is about hypocrisy and self-realization.
"Face to face with what you perceive to be an enemy; who is it? Is it you? In Sleeping with the Enemy, the devil and the angel on my shoulders meet."
"We can get so caught in the rat race of life, as humans we tend to lose track of ourselves and our core values along the way.
"There are times when you look at the problems you feel in your life and realize that there is one common denominator; yourself! Whether you see life as a whole or as a whole attitude, there are times when we have to change the negative to the positive. This song is for me."
As guitarist Henry Flury said, this song is the answer for people who think Butcher Babies can no longer make loud songs.
"This is definitely a song for the stage. Can you sing and do a pit loop at the same time?" he concluded.
Butcher Babies' new album will be the band's first album since they left Century Media more than a year ago.
