Austin, Texas band, Scorpion Child, plays dark rock and roll that blends haunting themes and atmospheric melodies; the group’s unique fusion of post-punk, hard rock, and brooding aesthetic has garnered it a dedicated fanbase. On the heels of a multi-year reinvigoration, the unit returns in 2024, galvanized with a fortified lineup and renewed dedication.

The first taste of what the strengthened Scorpion Child delivers lies in wait with the new single, “Outliers“, a powerful punch of a song, filled with introspective lyrics, that perfectly encapsulates the band’s distinct style. “Outliers” was recorded at Austin’s Point West Recording with Charles Godfrey (Black Angels, The Mountain Goats) and represents the first official new music from Scorpion Child since the 2016 release of its full-length LP, ‘Acid Roulette’ (Nuclear Blast Records). “Outliers” will appear on Scorpion Child‘s impending new album, ‘I Saw The End as it Passed Right Through Me‘, slated for an early 2025 release date via Noize In The Attic. With the drop of “Outliers” comes the track’s accompanying music video; stream Scorpion Child‘s “Outliers” now at this location.

“Outliers” deep dives into the organizational use of fear tactics and the related, unknown forces that we are supposed to run from, or conform to,” offers Scorpion Child vocalist Aryn Jonathan Black. “The song is a look into the thought that “they” are always watching us and that we should play the same game from our POV in the shadows.”

About Scorpion Child:

Scorpion Child wields a sound that hearkens back to when guitar rock ruled the airwaves and going to concerts was the ultimate main event. The Austin, TX quintet released its self-titled debut in 2013 via Nuclear Blast Records. The album landed at #26 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart and #99 on the Billboard Hard Music Albums chart. Following its premiere by Eddie Trunk, iTunes named “Polygon Of Eyes” its “Single of the Week,” and Scorpion Child earned a nomination for “Best New Band” at the Classic Rock Magazine presented “Classic Rock Awards.” The group’s second album, 2016’s ‘Acid Roulette’ was recorded with GRAMMY® Award-nominated producer Chris “Frenchie” Smith [Meat Puppets, …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead], and featured the fan-favorite tracks “Reaper’s Danse”, and “My Woman in Black”. The band’s new album, ‘I Saw The End as it Passed Right Through Me‘, is set for release in early 2025.
