Anthrax's Charlie Benante Marries Carla Harvey in Wedding Officiated by Gene Simmons
""The initial idea was a small, intimate wedding with just a few friends and family, but we knew that we would not be able to get away with a small wedding once other friends heard about it. We just want our closest in a room together celebrating.""
""We are finishing the second EP for Carla's band, The Violent Hour, and we will be releasing an Anthrax album shortly, so we will be getting right back to work after the wedding,""
""an elegant Russ Meyer movie with a rock and roll twist.""
Charlie Benante and Carla Harvey married on Sunday, October 12, 2025, at The Secret Garden in Las Vegas. Gene Simmons officiated the ceremony after recovering from a recent car crash. Guests included members of Pantera, Mötley Crüe, Dream Theater, and Nickelback. Benante described the reception as an elegant Russ Meyer movie with a rock and roll twist and said the original plan for a small, intimate gathering grew once friends learned of the wedding. The couple became engaged at a U2 concert at the Sphere in January 2024 and will return immediately to music projects, finishing The Violent Hour's second EP and completing a new Anthrax album.
