“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,” says 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.”

   “‘I Saw the End as it Passed Right Through Me‘ is a quite intense and rather moody record,” Black continues. “I wrote these songs from the pits of a deep depression after going through a really rough patch in life where my mental health was very poor. Don’t think of it as all gloomy, though, because in our sadness there are also euphoric times of extreme happiness and nirvana. This album is dedicated to the betterment of mental health awareness and to those who struggle every day in these trying times. It’s truly an honest record, and we are excited to perform it live.”

   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 on February 14 2025.
