August 29th, 2025 – Chicago-born alternative rock and metal artist Blake Red unleashes her explosive new single “Scorpion,” a hard-hitting anthem that calls out those who prey on the innocent. With razor-sharp guitar riffs, unflinching lyrics, and a venomous vocal delivery, Blake Red proves once again that she’s unafraid to challenge convention and confront darkness head-on.
Produced by Blake Red and mixed and mastered by GRAMMY-winning producer Darryl Swann (Macy Gray, Black Eyed Peas), “Scorpion” features powerhouse drums by Tom McGeoch and Blake’s own blistering performance on guitar, bass, and vocals. The single is a sonic warning shot, a bold statement of strength.
