Carla Harvey’s Words On Her Split
Harvey shared a separate statement about the split. She wrote:
“Over the last 6 months you may have noticed my absence from Butcher Babies posts. After 15 years of dedication, I wanted to let you know that I will not be rejoining the band for any future endeavors.”
The singer also said she was proud of her work with the band:
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 Butcher Babies 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.”
Fans Were Not Surprised
Fans already saw it coming.
In the comment section of the statement, many fans revealed that they knew something was wrong. A commenter wrote:
“Many of us already saw that coming as the interaction between Carla and the band ceased in the past months. I hope this decision was amicable and I wish Carla and the band all the best. Heidi is very hardworking and can play double duty on stage but I’m kinda sad about it especially because I’ve been following BB for +10 years and never got the chance to see BB live.”
Another sarcastically added:
“Oh, what a a surprise… Expecting this since her ‘eye surgery,’ that forced her to miss the last European tour…”
