Carla Harvey of Butcher Babies Talks New Single with Overkill Radio
Los Angeles based Butcher Babies have released their first new music of 2023, and it rocks. Not since Eyeless by Slipknot has the world heard such a manic, frantic, and insane heavy metal song. From start to finish Beaver Cage walks the line between death and nu metal providing a sonic journey of screams, clean vocals, and shredding guitar riffs. Overkill Radio is lucky enough to have had The Eagle sit down with Carla Harvey and talk about the new track! When asked what went into writing the new track Harvey explained, “Henry wrote the guitar parts and then Heidi and I actually made a dance to the song before we wrote it, so we knew it would be a banger,”
This single is the buildup to an album to be released in 2023, the first since 2017. Apparently, this single puts fans very close to hearing the new album, which may sound slightly different than the music fans have grown accustomed to. On evolution as an artist Harvey says, “You evolve any time you put something out…Beaver Cage is about experiencing the party of a lifetime, whatever that means to you,” When asked about possibly throwing new songs into a set list it seems that Butcher Babies will have a healthy balance of new music and old songs. “The new songs are frantic and fun to play, but if you play all new songs fans will be wanting the classics,” Closing out with a fun question The Eagle had to ask his trademark, “if we went to a zoo right now what animal would you see first?” Eliciting a quick response of “I would go see monkeys, my entire Instagram is videos of monkeys,”
In addition to new Butcher Babies music, and a big announcement coming out today March 21, Carla Harvey and Charlie Benate will be presenting a duo art gallery in Los Angeles in April.
