Repress of Scorpion Child's sophomore album.
“The beauty of Acid Roulette – and about Scorpion Child in general – is the steely dedication to all that is rock. You don’t sound like this unless you’ve been swimming in a sea of ancient vinyl your whole life.” - Louder Sound
Infused with the bluesy swagger and the semi-mystic, thunderous kick-drum assault of iconic bands like Led Zeppelin, Uriah Heep, Rainbow, and Black Sabbath, hard-hitting Austin, Texas-based quintet Scorpion Child offer up a heady mix of classic rock, old-school heavy metal, and Southwest-kissed psych-rock.
Formed in 2010 around the talents of guitarists Chris Cowart and Tom "The Mole" Frank, bassist Shaun Avants, drummer Shawn Alvear, and frontman Aryn Jonathan Black, the band eventually inked a deal with Nuclear Blast, which issued their eponymous full-length debut in 2013.
The following year saw the departures of Frank and Alvear, with ex-Job for a Cowboy drummer Jon "The Charn" Rice joining the ranks. In 2015, the band added organist AJ Vincent to the lineup and began recording their sophomore studio long-player, Acid Roulette, which dropped in June 2016. - by James Christopher Monger
In 2025 the band released the latest album "I Saw The End As It Passed Right Through Me".
