Untitled

Black Butterfly is the fourth studio album by American hard rock band Buckcherry. It had apparently been in production since late 2007. Band manager Josh Klemme allegedly leaked the first single "Too Drunk..." to the internet, only to later claim in a press release that it had been pirated.[1]

The songs "Rescue Me" and "Don't Go Away" were eventually placed on the band's MySpace page. "Rescue Me" was released for download on the video game Rock Band. "Don't Go Away" was selected as the second single to be released from the album.[2]

The album was released on September 12, 2008 in Japan, Canada and the United Kingdom while being released on September 16 in the United States.[3]

The limited fan edition was included with two demo songs, "Nothing" and "Stayin' High". Along with the bonus songs, the case came with a year free membership to the Buckcherry Fan Club, "Buckcherry's Bomb Squad".

Vocalist Josh Todd has mentioned that the songs "Rescue Me" and "A Child Called "It"" were both inspired by the Dave Pelzer book, A Child Called "It". "There were times when I had to put the book down because the abuse of this boy was so bad, but I felt like the book found me… I was compelled to write this song out of inspiration from this guy’s incredible journey."[4]

"Rescue Me" was used as the official theme song for WWE Judgment Day 2009 pay-per view.[5]
