Drowning Sea God Records is delighted to announce its freshest signing, hardcore punk/metal/mathcore band ButcherBird.
The London four-piece trades in proggy savagery spiked with big emotions.
They’ve premiered a debut video, Trajan’s Massive Column, with scene stalwarts IDIOTEQ.com, where the band also talk about the track and how they formed, among other things.
From the interview:
‘The premiere single Trajan’s Massive Column tackles the toxicity of hypermasculine posturing. The title started as a joke, but “it actually felt appropriate given how really dumb a lot of hypermasculine rhetoric is. Essentially, if you need to tell everyone how big your column is, you’re probably overcompensating a little.”’
Next up is the release of ButcherBird’s debut EP, Drought/Deluge, on 30 May 2025. The EP contains six tracks with the band’s inventive take on an established genre on full display. Complex rhythms and fluid songwriting are peppered with vocals to rival the best of them, as well as alien effects from pedals that guitarist Rob builds himself.
Pre-orders are available now from Bandcamp. Follow the band on Facebook or Instagram to stay up to date.
