Lords of Acid have officially announced that former Butcher Babies singer Carla Harvey is the band’s NEW Acid Queen. Harvey, who left Butcher Babies in mid-2023 to pursue new creative endeavors, now steps into a bold new chapter of her career with Lords of Acid.
Lords of Acid’s manager, Marc Jordan, confirmed: “Carla is set to begin recording vocals for the new Lords of Acid album this winter and will be joining the band on a 27-date US tour in June.”
Says Harvey: “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 résumé: reigning ‘Acid Queen.’ Praise the Lords!”
