This week Brian is joined by Aryn Black, Lead singer of Scorpion Child.
Scorpion child is an American rock band based in Austin, Texas. Formed in 2006, the band has experienced frequent lineup changes. They are signed to the German-based independent label Nuclear Blast and worked with Grammy-nominated producer Chris “Frenchie” Smith on their two albums.
Their music has been compared to Led Zeppelin, Uriah Heep, Rainbow, and Black Sabbath, and the band also cited Krautrock and doom metal bands like Pentagram, Hairy Chapter, and Lucifer's Friend as influences. Scorpion Child released their self-titled debut album in June 2013. In a review of the album, one reviewer described Scorpion Child as "a heavy-riffing behemoth that takes the current glut of guitar-slinging retro-copyists and punches them through the pavement." The album reached #31 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. The song "Polygon of Eyes" was featured as the iTunes single of the week in June 2013.
Following a lineup change they released the album Acid Roulette in June 2016. The album was noted for being heavier and more progressive than its predecessor, thanks to the strengths of the new lineup, while one reviewer noted the album's "Lizzy-meets-Maiden riffage." Acid Roulette reached #19 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. The band are currently working on new music and preparing to tour. Tune in to hear all about the history of Scorpion Child, Aryn's influences and musical experiences and what the future holds for the band.
