Austin, Texas-based classic rockers SCORPION CHILD have just confirmed their addition to this summer’s Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. The five-piece will be headlining the Sumerian Stage.

"We are tremendously excited to be a part of Mayhem Festival 2013,” states frontman and lyricist Aryn Jonathan Black. “There is no better way for us to launch our new album and we’re looking forward to the Mayhem Fest crowds bringing out the animal in us when we play!"
