American metal group Butcher Babies have released their latest single, “Lost In Your Touch,” introducing fans to a new, more vulnerable side of their sound. The track, produced by Howard Benson and released on Judge & Jury Records, also comes with an emotional music video. This single serves as the band’s second release with their current label, leading up to a highly anticipated upcoming album.
Lead vocalist Heidi Shepherd shared that “Lost In Your Touch” draws deeply from her personal life, recounting the difficult experience of seeing the love of her life move on with someone else a decade ago. Shepherd describes how this heartbreak inspired her to reflect on past love, growth, and her journey to find herself again. She expressed that while the pain was intense, the experience taught her to cherish true love and never take it for granted.
Producer Howard Benson highlighted the honest and emotional lyrics, stating he was immediately drawn to the project. Benson praised Shepherd’s delivery, saying that the real impact of a song often comes from the sincerity of its vocalist. The single showcases the band’s ability to combine their well-known heavy metal energy with introspective, heartfelt storytelling.
As the release of “Lost In Your Touch” coincides with major touring plans, Butcher Babies announced an active schedule including both U.S. and European dates. The group is set to appear at festivals like Sonic Temple, Rock Fest, and Louder Than Life, and will join forces with bands such as Infected Rain for co-headlining shows, especially across cities in the United Kingdom and mainland Europe. UK fans can expect performances in cities including Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, London, and more, offering a chance to experience the new single and other material live.
The upcoming album is expected to delve even further into Shepherd’s personal experiences, with songs reflecting on the last 25 years of her life. Described as an autobiographical record, it will cover moments that have not been shared publicly before. Fans eager for both powerful music and raw storytelling can look forward to this new chapter for Butcher Babies.
