The Violent Hour (Ex-Butcher Babies) Premiere New Single & Music Video "Screenager"

The Violent Hour have just premiered an official music video for their latest single, “Screenager“. The outfit are fronted by ex-Butcher Babies vocalist Carla Harvey, while her husband Charlie Benante (Anthrax, Pantera) contributed as a co-writer behind the scenes. Attila Vörös lays down guest guitar on the track, which is set to appear on The Violent Hour‘s forthcoming debut album.

Harvey commented on the song:

“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.”

She further discussed bringing Vörös into the fold, stating, “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.”
