Austin, Texas band, SCORPION CHILD, plays dark rock and roll that blends haunting themes and atmospheric melodies; a unique fusion of post-punk, hard rock, and brooding aesthetic. SCORPION CHILD will release its new album, I Saw the End as it Passed Right Through Me, on February 14, 2025 via Noize in the Attic Records. Recorded at Austin's Point West Recording with Charles Godfrey (Black Angels, The Mountain Goats), the LP is the follow up to the band's 2016 full-length LP, Acid Roulette (Nuclear Blast Records), a release hailed as "mesmerizing" by Metal Hammer.

Today, SCORPION CHILD delivers a holiday gift with the release of the new single "Be The Snake" and its accompanying lyric video. The cut debuts via Metal Injection which opines, "you might not catch it all the first time as you'll be too busy headbanging. It happens, y'know?" Stream SCORPION CHILD's "Be The Snake" BELOW.

"Snakes. We all encounter these types of people on a daily basis," offers SCORPION CHILD vocalist, Ayrn Jonathan Black. "They might double as friends or family but possess ulterior motives. Snakes help us learn what cruelty is and remind us of the nastiness the snarling jaws of human nature can truly exhibit. In that way, they are vital."

I Saw the End as it Passed Right Through Me is also advanced by the new single, "Outliers", a powerful punch of a song, filled with introspective lyrics, that perfectly encapsulates the band's distinct style.

"Outliers" deep dives into the organizational use of fear tactics and the related, unknown forces that we are supposed to run from, or conform to," says Black. "The song is a look into the thought that "they" are always watching us and that we should play the same game from our POV in the shadows."

"I Saw the End as it Passed Right Through Me is a quite intense and rather moody record," Black continues. "I wrote these songs from the pits of a deep depression after going through a really rough patch in life where my mental health was very poor. Don't think of it as all gloomy, though, because in our sadness there are also euphoric times of extreme happiness and nirvana. This album is dedicated to the betterment of mental health awareness and to those who struggle every day in these trying times. It's truly an honest record, and we are excited to perform it live."
