Former Butcher Babies frontwoman Carla Harvey revealed as Lords Of Acid's 'Acid Queen'

Following the recent death of Ruth Mc Ardle, vocalist for industrial dance group Lords Of Acid and featured on Voodoo-U, the Belgium-based group have announced that Carla Harvey formerly of Butcher Babies will be the former singer's replacement.

The news was confirmed by the group's manager Marc Jordan who also confirmed Harvey will begin to record vocals for the upcoming album this Winter and will join the band on their upcoming 27-date U.S. tour this Summer.

Harvey also commented on the new role:

I had three favorite bands in high school: GUNS N' ROSES, PANTERA and LORDS OF ACID. Each one shaped me and uniquely influenced me as an artist. LOA had me hooked from the moment I heard 'I Sit On Acid' as a teenager dancing the night away at Detroit's goth Industrial Haven City Club. My obsession with LOA only grew after I saw Coop's artwork on the cover of 'Voodoo U'. Now I get to record an album and go on tour with my industrial heroes! Pinch 16-year-old me! She'll be the one in the vocal booth. While my new band THE VIOLENT HOUR is set to release its first single in February, I'm adding a bucket list item to my resume: Reigning 'Acid Queen'. Praise the Lords!
