A little over a month ago, we introduced the world to Child of the Jackyl, the new band featuring Alesana’s Dennis Lee and Bloodjinn’s Kyle Odell, plus Justin Reich and Scott Shelton, both of Vanisher. We also previewed a clip from the debut song, “Chthonian Descent.” Now we’re proud to premiere the track in its entirety.

“Child of the Jackyl’s first song, ‘Chthonian Descent,’ is a twist on the idea of modern science meddling with areas others consider divine,” Lee explains. “In an attempt to travel through space by tapping into another dimension, researchers unwittingly open a portal to another dimension akin to the Christian idea of Hell. One said scientist is ensnared by one of the entities that come through the gateway, forcibly impregnated, and gives birth to what will end mankind. The whole while her colleagues pray desperately to gods they forsook long ago. Enjoy.”

The band will release their debut EP, Last Son Of Gaia, Winter 2013 on Revival Recordings.

Formed earlier this year, North Carolina’s Child of the Jackyl features Alesana’s Dennis Lee and Bloodjinn’s Kyle Odell, plus Justin Reich and Scott Shelton, both of Vanisher.  “Child of the Jackyl has been a brainchild of mine for quite a few years now,” Lee says. “It started when I was in a rut, trying to find new music to listen to. A majority of the new metal bands I dug up were either breakdown-drenched dribble or lyrically devoid of any message save infantile misogyny. I knew that if I was patient I would find like-minded musicians and be able to produce music that was free of the gimmicky bullshit that has drenched the music scene… and oh, I did. The Child of the Jackyl has been born so prepare to put your horns in the air and bang your fucking head.”

The band will be heading into the studio this winter to record their debut EP, Last Son Of Gaia, coming Winter 2013 on Revival Recordings. In anticipation, they are streaming a clip of a song, “Chthonian Descent,” right here right now. The single will be available on November 13.
