Na een periode van 15 jaar, 5 full lenght albums en 2 EP’s heeft zangeres Carla Harvey besloten te stoppen bij de Amerikaanse metal band Butcher Babies. Zangeres Heidi Shepherd en gitarist Henry Flury zijn nu de enige overgebleven originele leden. Samen met bassist Ricky Bonazza en drummer Blake Bailey gaat de band door. Ook Carla zelf zegt door te gaan met het maken van muziek.
Het statement van Carla luidt als volgt:
Over the last 6 months You may have noticed my absence from BB posts. After 15 years of dedication, I wanted to let you know that I will not be rejoining the band for any future endeavors. I am super proud of my work with Butcher Babies…2 EPS, 5 Full lengths albums and countless tours with our metal heroes! To all of our incredible BB friends and fans…you have provided me with some of the greatest experiences of my life! I have loved every second of writing and performing all over the world for you! I have loved meeting you. WOW. I still can’t believe this kid from Detroit got so lucky. I am not done making music and performing. I WILL see you soon #butcherbabies #carlaharvey
