Lords Of Acid have announced that former Butcher Babies singer Carla Harvey is the band’s new singer. Lords Of Acid’s manager Marc Jordan confirms that 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.
Harvey says this about her joining the band: “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! 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”.”

Before her music career, Harvey worked as an entertainment reporter for the Playboy Channel and appeared on television shows like “Rules of Engagement”. She then pursued a degree in Mortuary Science from California’s Cypress College, becoming a licensed funeral director and embalmer.
