Infinity War

Infinity War is the second album by American punk duo Seymour Butts. It was recorded in one night by Jacob Keplinger and Justin Siegel and released on May 25, 2018 via Pink Hat Records.

The cover photo was taken by Keplinger on the same day that the first Seymour Butts album was released. Keplinger vowed to use it for the second Seymour Butts album cover, and his vow proved true.

Infinity War was met by harsh backlash; where their first album came off as raw and unfiltered, this release was described as rushed and thoughtless. The final two tracks- "The Scale Model" and "I'm Alright-" were pinned as the primary offenders, with both tracks running for less than thirty seconds and the former containing nothing but an A Major scale. To be fair, there was never going to be a second Seymour Butts album until Keplinger and Siegel had already completed nearly half of it. What started out as a night of writing and demoing turned into an official release by morning.

Trivia

 * "The Bread" and "Alone, Leave Me" were covered and reimagined by New Threads on their 2019 album Felonious Wilma.
 * "Smart Cars" was written during the sessions for Keplinger and Siegel's then-unreleased free rock project Jazz Music.
 * The album is titled after the 2018 Marvel film of the same name, in a pathetic attempt to bring attention to the new release.
 * Unlike their first album, which relies on a drum machine, this album features live drums played by Siegel. He recorded the entire album on a Roland V-Drum kit.
 * This album adopted a rather unorthodox recording method- Keplinger and Siegel recorded an electric guitar and bass track simultaneously, and then a vocal and drum track simultaneously. There was virtually no mixing- each song was tracked, mixed, and bounced within a 30 minute window.
 * "No Pockets" inspired the lyrics for The Free Rock Trio's single "Head in the Sand."
 * "I'm Alright" features Justin Siegel on lead vocals, which still stands as his only lead vocal credit in the PH®U.
