"Acid Roulette chronicles the life trials of a traveling man who was imprisoned for a murderous crime," comments Aryn . "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, pictured above, was a collaboration by Aryn Jonathan Black, photographer Max Taylor and graphic designer Rob Kimura.
"SCORPION CHILD have become one of the most electrifying and
dynamic bands around. This album puts them right to the forefront."
- Malcolm Dome (Classic Rock, Metal Hammer)
"Less enamored of the new wave of British heavy metal than its fellow contemporaries, SCORPION CHILD pledges troth to the early Seventies, when hundreds of proto-metal bands joined Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath in redefining the art of the riff."
- Austin Chronicle
"If radio was still interested in breaking new bands rather than propping up dinosaurs I'd say SCORPION CHILD was a gold record already in the bag, but don't let the lack of mainstream exposure fool you: this is some of the catchiest, most immediately accessible guitar rock you've heard since glam dominated Dial MTV back in the day...instantly infectious"
- Metal Injection
