Brand new video from awesome Texans
Austin heavy psych-rockers Scorpion Child have released a brand new single from their forthcoming album,Acid Roulette. Listen to the catchy new tune, ‘My Woman In Black’, here.
Vehement vocalist Aryn Jonathan Black comments on the new track: “‘My Woman In Black’ is a key song on the record that describes that first time you laid eyes on the love of your life. Whatever or whoever it was. The impact, euphoria, and almost Déjà vu-like experience it is. For the subject, he was forever inspired!”

‘My Woman In Black’ gives us a glimpse into the Texans highly anticipated upcoming sophomore album, which will be released on June 10th via Nuclear Blast Entertainment. Speaking about the concept behind the forthcoming release, Aryn explains,“Acid Roulette chronicles the life trials of a traveling man who was imprisoned for a murderous crime. He was forced into confessing by his wife and her wealthy lover so that they could live out their romance without him in the picture. Once sentenced to a life’s term, he goes through extreme emotions dealing with the only woman he’d ever loved taking everything he’d known as “real” away from him. He has to create and redefine his own reality accompanied by its roller coaster of emotional reflection. He experiences many different psychological changes throughout the years and escapes by means of drugs and his writings. These songs become his diary of a madman. The focus is mainly on the seasons in a year, for each song represents a month. The songs exist to drive home the full power of human emotion as many albums do, however, Acid Roulette wires us into those extremes.”
Once again, the band recorded at The Bubble in Austin, TX with Chris ‘Frenchie’ Smith (The Answer, And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead…) who produced and arranged the band’s self-titled, first full-length. Acid Roulette was mixed by Dave Schiffman (The Mars Volta, Dead Meadow, Jane’s Addiction, Rage Against The Machine). The album’s artwork was a collaboration between Aryn Jonathan Black,photographer Max Taylor and graphic designer Rob Kimura.
