Made Out of Babies was a sludge metal band from Brooklyn, New York formed in 2004 that disbanded in 2012.
Biography
Drawing equally from noise rock bands such as The Jesus Lizard and post-metal bands such as Isis, the band developed a following after the release of their debut album, Trophy. Their first two albums were released by Neurot Recordings, the label of post-metal and post-rock bands like Isis, Neurosis, and Red Sparowes. Made Out of Babies were signed to The End Records for the release of their 2008 album The Ruiner. On March 13, 2012, lead singer Julie Christmas posted on her Facebook page that the band was no longer together. On September 18, 2012, the new band Bad Powers - featuring Tobin, Cooper, and Egan with new singer Megan Tweed - released its debut album on The End Records.
