Scorpion Child - New Drummer Announced
Scorpion Child have added a new face to their lineup: drummer Jon "Charn" Rice, formerly of death metallers Job For A Cowboy. He replaces Shawn Paul Alvear. Guitarist Tom Frank is also no longer in the band.
Bassist Shaun Avants shares the following: "Scorpion Child is excited to announce some recent line-up changes within the camp. As with any team or group, decisions must be made that are vital to the overall attitude, creativity, quality, and lifespan of a shared and common goal. Any decision we make is and always will be for the betterment and advancement of this band.
"That being said, we have decided to move forward as a four piece - at least for now - as we say goodbye to our friends [rhythm guitarist] Tom Frank and [former drummer] Shawn Alvear. We wish them the very best in any and all of their future endeavors and it should be noted that their contributions were not without their merits.
"We are pleased to announce that Jon 'Charn' Rice (ex-Job For A Cowboy, 1349) will be taking the position as our new drummer. He exemplifies ambition, hard work, and the general personality that gives this band the potential to function as a tighter unit. His handful of performances with Nonpoint and the Shiprocked cruise earlier this year only solidified our faith in his abilities and filled us with an overwhelming excitement for the coming possibilities. Thank you to all of our fans for weathering the seas of change. We'll see you all very soon. Bigger. Better. Faster. Stronger."
The band's self-titled debut Scorpion Child is up for Best Hard Rock Album on Metal Storm Awards 2013. Go check it out.
Job For A Cowboy commented on Facebook: "For anyone wondering what Charn is up to, here it is! We bro-ed down hard with Scorpion Child on Mayhem, so we're super happy Jon is on board another awesome camp with such good dudes. Go check em out!"
