On this week's Loaded Radio Podcast, Carla Harvey (formerly of Butcher Babies) joins Scott for the first time to talk about her brand-new band The Violent Hour, her role as the new frontwoman of Lords Of Acid, and her evolution as an artist. In the second half of the episode, Metal Injection journalist and content creator Greg Kennelty appears on Voices From The Underground, diving into the state of music journalism, independent media, and his growing YouTube presence.
Carla Harvey launches The Violent Hour and joins Lords Of Acid
It's a busy and exciting new chapter for Carla Harvey. After years of crushing it onstage with Butcher Babies, Carla is stepping into the spotlight with two brand new ventures — her searing new project The Violent Hour and her surprising new role as the frontwoman for the long-running electro-industrial act Lords Of Acid.
In her first-ever conversation with Scott on The Loaded Radio Podcast, Carla opens up about the creative direction of The Violent Hour, the freedom she feels with this new musical outlet, and how stepping into the world of Lords Of Acid has allowed her to channel a completely different side of her performance style. She also touches on what it's like to move from groove-laced metalcore to full-blown industrial chaos, the importance of authenticity in her work, and how her creative fire continues to evolve.
Whether you've been a fan since her Butcher Babies days or you're just discovering her now through The Violent Hour, this interview gives a unique and personal look at one of heavy music's most dynamic voices.
