BUTCHER BABIES – New Drummer Announced

BUTCHER BABIES have announced their new drummer:

“Let’s all give a Butcher welcome to our new drummer Chase Brickenden (pictured below). You may have seen him with us last year on tour with Megadeth, Knotfest USA and Knotfest Japan,” says Butcher Babies frontwomen Heidi Shepherd and Carla Harvey. “He’s a beast and we couldn’t be more excited to what he brings to the band. After writing this entire new album with us, he is currently tracking drums to make your faces melt.”

“Formerly, he has slayed the drums for Thrown Into Exhile, Otep, and more. Chase is a multi-style drummer that graduated from Musicians Institute and we feel ultra lucky to have him! This is our first line up change ever! After seven years with Chris (Warner), we want to wish him a happy new marriage and success in all that he does. Cheers!”

Chase also issued a statement that reads, “Thank you for the warm welcome! It’s an honor to join my friends in this band. I’m so excited to share what we’re working on. Looking forward to meeting you all on tour!”
