The Violent Hour release official video for “Screenager”

The official music video for The Violent Hour‘s most recent hit, “Screenager,” has just been released, as per theprp. Former Butcher Babies singer Carla Harvey leads that group, and her husband Charlie Benante (Anthrax, Pantera) worked behind the scenes as a co-writer. This song, which will be included on The Violent Hour‘s upcoming first album, features guest guitar by Attila Vörvá.

We wanted to write something that felt as relentless as the endless scroll. Musically, ‘Screenager‘ channels the aggression and energy of early Metallica but opens up into huge, soaring melodic choruses. Lyrically, it’s about how we’ve traded genuine human connection for digital validation, and how anonymity has fueled a growing lack of empathy by making cruelty feel consequence-free. We’re more connected than ever, yet somehow we’ve never felt further apart. We asked our friend Attila Vörös to lay down the guitar solo for ‘Screenager‘, and he absolutely delivered with a combination of ’80s shred and modern melodic metal that only he could pull off. – Carla Harvey
