Scorpion Child reveal album details!

Texan classic rockers SCORPION CHILD will release their second album, »Acid Roulette«, on June 10, 2016 via Nuclear Blast Entertainment.

"»Acid Roulette« chronicles the life trials of a traveling man who was imprisoned for a murderous crime," comments vocalist Aryn Jonathan Black. "He was forced into confessing by his wife and her wealthy lover so that they could live out their romance without him in the picture. Once sentenced to a life's term, he goes through extreme emotions dealing with the only woman he'd ever loved taking everything he'd known as "real" away from him. He has to create and redefine his own reality accompanied by its roller coaster of emotional reflection. He experiences many different psychological changes throughout the years and escapes by means of drugs and his writings. These songs become his diary of a madman. The focus is mainly on the seasons in a year, for each song represents a month. The songs exist to drive home the full power of human emotion as many albums do, however, »Acid Roulette« wires us into those extremes."

Once again, the band recorded at The Bubble in Austin, TX with Chris ‘Frenchie’ Smith (THE ANSWER, AND YOU WILL KNOW US BY THE TRAIL OF DEAD...) who produced and arranged the band’s self-titled, first full-length. »Acid Roulette« was mixed by Dave Schiffman (THE MARS VOLTA, DEAD MEADOW, JANE'S ADDICTION, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE). The album's artwork, pictured above, was a collaboration by Aryn Jonathan Black, photographer Max Taylor and graphic designer Rob Kimura.

*SCORPION CHILD only

The band had recently released the brand new single, 'She Sings, I Kill'. The official lyric video can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/3JbbW7tvNEM

This new track gives us a furtive glimpse into the Texans highly anticipated upcoming sophomore album, on the wake of starting a month long UK and European tour. Aryn Jonathan Black returns with his rich, electrifying vocals interweaved with the groove laden riffs of guitarist Christopher Jay Cowart and the sauntering bass work of Alec Caballero Padron. SCORPION CHILD are completed by Jon ‘Charn’ Rice (drums) and AJ Vincent (keyboards). More impassioned than ever, SCORPION CHILD have something to prove.

'She Sings, I Kill' is now available as a 7" vinyl and digital download. The single contains the new track as well as another new song, '(Enter The) Twilight Coven', which will be a B-Side exclusive to this release. The 7" is available in black or white vinyl format and at the Nuclear Blast Mailorder as well as via digital download HERE.

SCORPION CHILD’s second album is due to be unleashed in the summer of 2016, and anticipation has been building. The band have once again been working with Chris ‘Frenchie’ Smith (THE ANSWER, ...AND YOU WILL KNOW US BY THE TRAIL OF DEAD) who produced and arranged the band’s self-titled, first full-length.
