Lilith is the third album by the American heavy metal band Butcher Babies. It was released on October 27, 2017, through Century Media Records and was produced by Steve Evetts.[2] It is the band's first release with drummer Chase Brickenden and their final release with bassist Jason Klein before his departure from the band in 2019.[1] The album reached number 11 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart,[3] and number 15 on the Billboard Hard Rock Albums chart.[4] The standard edition of the album contains 11 tracks; the deluxe edition includes 5 bonus tracks from the band's 2014 covers EP Uncovered. The album art, insert panel and tour posters were designed by artist Justin Paul[5]

Reception[edit]

Loudwire noted that "There's no question Butcher Babies are a polarizing band who have some detractors, but Lilith will certainly earn them plenty of new converts,",[1] while Metal Hammer voiced a similar opinion with "Lilith could be the Butcher Babies album that finally wins over the band’s naysayers."[6]
