Description
Release Date Friday 12th September 2025
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.
The Violent Hour is spearheaded by lyricist/vocalist Carla Harvey, who wrote
all songs' lyrics, and musician/songwriter Charlie Benante, who produced the
EP, composed the music, and played all instruments
The EP also features John 5 (Marilyn Manson, Motley Crue) playing lead on the track
"Sick Ones," guitarist Zakk Wylde on "Hell or Hollywood," and, with the exception of
Crobot vocalist Brandon Yeagley singing on the track "Portland, Oregon," Carla Harvey
delivered all vocals.
The Violent Hour was born from a moment of truth. After 15 years commanding some
of heavy metal's biggest stages, former Butcher Babies vocalist Carla Harvey found
herself at a crossroads: walk away from it all, or dig deep and create the album she'd
always dreamed of. She chose the latter. Teaming up with partner and legendary
drummer and multi- instrumentalist Charlie Benante (Anthrax, Pantera), the two
hunkered down to write - and what followed was electric. The songs poured out fast,
raw, and real. With that spark, the Violent Hour came to life. Blending the grid of oldschool rock'n'roll, the soul of indie and alternative, and just the right dose of heavy
metal, The Violent Hour isn't chasing trends - they're carving out their own lane.
Songwriting comes frst, emotion is everything, and every track is a piece of Carla's
story, unapologetically honest and sonically bold.
Tracks: Sick Ones (feat. John5) / Hell Or Hollywood (feat. Zakk Wylde) / Portland,
Oregon (feat. Brandon Yeagley) / Sex and Cigarettes / The Violent Hour
