Former Butcher Babies vocalist Carla Harvey has joined long-running acid house/industrial dance outfit Lords Of Acid. Harvey will be tracking vocals for the Belgian band’s forthcoming eighth studio album this winter and will also be touring the U.S. with the group this June. Speaking of her new role in the group, Harvey commented:
“I had three favorite bands in high school: Guns N’ Roses, Pantera and Lords Of Acid. Each one shaped me and uniquely influenced me as an artist. LOA had me hooked from the moment I heard ‘I Sit On Acid‘ as a teenager dancing the night away at Detroit’s goth Industrial Haven City Club.
My obsession with LOA only grew after I saw Coop’s artwork on the cover of ‘Voodoo U‘. Now I get to record an album and go on tour with my industrial heroes! Pinch 16-year-old me! She’ll be the one in the vocal booth. While my new band The Violent Hour is set to release its first single in February, I’m adding a bucket list item to my resume: Reigning ‘Acid Queen’. Praise the Lords!”
Outside of her musical pursuits, Harvey has been pursuing a career as a funeral director and grief counselor.
