SCORPION CHILD have released a brand-new lyric video for “Liquor”, which is available for viewing below. The track comes off the band’s self-titled debut album, which will be released on June 21 through Nuclear Blast Entertainment, the new U.S. partnership between Nuclear Blast owner Markus Staiger and former Roadrunner Records A&R chief Monte Conner. Produced and arranged by Chris “Frenchie” Smith (THE ANSWER, …AND YOU WILL KNOW US BY THE TRAIL OF DEAD, THE TOADIES, DAX RIGGS), the CD was recorded using analog recording technology. Scorpion Child will be available on limited CD digipack, vinyl, and digitally. Check out the fifth track, “Liquor” and the album artwork below.
Aryn Jonathan Black comments: “I’ve always wanted to hear new musical ingredients within a classic heavy sound. It’s great to witness captivating performances where both the live show and the band’s recorded material can complement one another. The heavy-prog sounds of URIAH HEEP, HAIRY CHAPTER, and the epic delivery of early RAINBOW showcases these crossovers brilliantly and gave us all honest — yet relentless — sonics to aspire to. That’s why it’s important for us as a band to maintain spontaneity while putting a special emphasis into integral hooks.”
