U.S Heavy Metal quartet CHILDREN OF THE REPTILE have released “Last Words (Ruin’s Ride),” the second single from forthcoming album Heavy is the Head. Check it out at the following links:

CHILDREN OF THE REPTILE will release Heavy is the Head on April 7.

Though they are proudly part of what’s now called the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal, CHILDREN OF THE REPTILE aren’t simply aping styles from the 70s and 80s. Taking a page out of the book of Manilla Road and calling themselves “American Epic Heavy Metal,” these four travellers have been crushing the Southeast United States for over a decade now.

If you want the riffs of Metallica, the twin leads of Thin Lizzy or Iron Maiden, the attitude of Judas Priest, the progressive leanings of Mastodon, and the vibes of Manilla Road, then you must check out the best kept secret from the swamps of the Cape Fear: CHILDREN OF THE REPTILE.
