The Violent Hour
The Violent Hour is the new project of former Butcher Babies vocalist Carla Harvey and Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante, blending old-school rock and roll, indie, alternative soul, and heavy metal into an eclectic, genre-defying sound. Their 2025 debut EP features an all-female lineup and guest appearances from guitar legends John 5 and Zakk Wylde, with tracks spanning from punk-tinged metal to 70s Southern rock aesthetics. Harvey's reinvention beyond the Butcher Babies framework, paired with Benante's versatile musicianship, creates a fresh creative partnership unconstrained by either artist's previous work.
