The Violent Hour releases official video for the single “Sick Ones”

On April 25, the first-ever music video for the song “Sick Ones” by The Violent Hour was released online. Carla Harvey (Lords Of Acid, former Butcher Babies) is the frontwoman of the new project, and the song is also its first single. On that track, John 5 (Mötley Crüe, ex-Rob Zombie, etc.) provided a guest appearance, while her significant other, Charlie Benante (Anthrax/Pantera), helped with the writing and musicianship.

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.
