Melbourne heavy blues rock pillars CHILD have signed to Heavy Psych Sounds Records for the release of their anticipated new studio album "Rebirth" this June 26th.
Combine the heavy emotion of the blues, the tone and raw power of hard rock, the finesse of soul and a twist of 60’s psychedelia: it will give you a visceral musical experience that plays directly to your being. This is CHILD. Living for their art, the pubs, the booze, the endless highways and the blues is what makes this band who they are. The Melbourne trio is a must-see for those who are worshippers at “the electric church”.
Three years after the release of their acclaimed full-length Soul Murder, CHILD have sealed a worldwide deal with Heavy Psych Sounds Records for the release of their new album Rebirth this summer. With Rebirth, the band marks a definitive shift in their creative trajectory. Moving beyond their established sound, they showcase a refined focus on songwriting, stripping back the noise to reveal the heart of their message. The record serves as an unfiltered dialogue with the self, confronting the obstacles that block our evolution and demanding the strength to overcome them. It is a gritty, honest document of survival and the messy beauty of becoming who you are meant to be.
Rebirth will be issued on LP, CD and digital formats on June 26th, with preorders available now from Heavy Psych Sounds Records.
Formed in the crucible of Melbourne's underground in 2012, CHILD is a power blues trio that channels the primal fury of heavy rock through a deep, psychedelic, and soulful blues tradition. Often compared to heavy rock legends like Black Sabbath and the Jimi Hendrix Experience, CHILD creates a visceral musical experience that is both raw and artfully crafted. The band has carved out a formidable reputation for its explosive and immersive live performances. Their live shows are revered as a pilgrimage for those who worship at what they call "the electric church", a space where music is a powerful and communal spiritual experience.
By consistently touring nationally and internationally, CHILD has become a fixture of the global stoner and heavy rock scenes. Yet, their roots remain firmly planted in Melbourne, a city they've honored with legendary residencies at venues like the iconic Cherry Bar. They possess an intense passion for the blues, viewing it not just as a genre but as a wellspring of emotion and a vehicle for sonic freedom. For them, every performance is a unique, spontaneous act—a reflection of their deep-seated belief in the power and freedom of music. They are perpetual sonic seekers, living for the road, the amps, and the soul-stirring intensity of their heavy blues odyssey.
