Nuclear Blast has inked a deal with Austin, Texas-based five-piece SCORPION CHILD. According to a press release, guitarists Chris Cowart and David Finner deliver their finessed twin guitar attack with experience older than their years; bassist Shaun Avants and drummer Shawn Alvear are steadfast sentinels of their driving rhythm section; and lead singer Aryn Jonathan Black fronts the psychedelic rock cavalry with a passion and voice reminiscent of the early eras of Robert Plant and Ronnie James Dio.

“I’ve always wanted to hear new musical ingredients within a classic heavy sound," states vocalist AJB. "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.”

Scorpion Child's self-titled, full-length debut will be released in May. Produced and arranged by Chris “Frenchie” Smith (THE ANSWER, AND YOU WILL KNOW US BY THE TRAIL OF DEAD...), the album uses analog recording technology to organically capture a hybrid of nine, hook-filled chapters of heavy psych rock.

Scorpion Child tracklisting is:

'Kings Highway'

'Polygon Of Eyes'

'The Secret Spot'

' Salvation Slave'

'Liquor'

'Antioch'

'In The Arms Of Ecstasy'

'Lover’s Leap'

'Red Blood (The River Flows)'
