The Violent Hour (Ex-Butcher Babies) Debut "Sick Ones" Music Video – Theprp.com

The Violent Hour‘s first-ever music video went up online today, April 25th. That song, “Sick Ones“, is also the debut single from the new project, which is fronted by Carla Harvey (Lords Of Acid, ex-Butcher Babies). Her significant other, Charlie Benante (Anthrax/Pantera) assisted with the writing and instrumentation on that track, with John 5 (Mötley Crüe, ex-Rob Zombie, etc.) guesting.
Harvey said of this new video, which was helmed by Vicente Cordero (Cradle Of Filth, Jinjer):
“While Sick Ones is about cutting toxic people out of your life—those who constantly devalue you — I wanted to flip that narrative for the video. I’ve always been interested in the idea that sometimes, the most dangerous person to confront is yourself. The video explores what it means to face those darker versions of who we’ve been, and whether we can truly leave them behind… or, as the ending suggests, learn to coexist peacefully. Vicente took my vision and brought it to life. I came to him with a wild idea and no clue how to execute it—and we made it work! I loved getting a chance to play multiple larger-than-life characters.”
Speaking previously on this song, Harvey added:
“‘Sick Ones‘ is a rock ‘n’ roll anthem about cutting the toxic people out of your life. It’s a call of freedom, a fist-to-the-face to anyone who has tried to hold you down, hold you back or dim your light. It was written at a vulnerable time in my life when I was forced to end relationships I thought would last forever.
When choosing a theme for this song. I thought about a phrase I had scrawled across a journal from 1999: ‘Cut The Sick Ones Loose.’ Those words became my mantra over the last couple years and felt perfect to chant over Charlie‘s guitar riffs. ‘Sick Ones‘ also features an absolutely shredding guitar solo by John 5 that brings this thrasher to a whole different level.”
