Child Soldier: Creator of God
2020 debut studio album by Greg Puciato
Child Soldier: Creator of God is the debut solo album by American musician Greg Puciato of the Black Queen and the disbanded the Dillinger Escape Plan, released through his own Federal Prisoner record label. It was originally set to be released on October 23, 2020, but due to a leak, Puciato decided to release it three weeks early on October 1, 2020.
Puciato plays all instruments on the album, with the exception of drums which are done by Chris Hornbrook, Chris Pennie and Ben Koller.
Metal Hammer named it as the 45th best metal album of 2020.
Background
In March 2019, Puciato finished the last North American leg of the tour in support of the Black Queen album Infinite Games. While touring, he reconnected with the Dillinger Escape Plan original drummer Chris Pennie who attended one of their shows in New York City. Both musicians were close friends in Dillinger but lost contact following the latter's departure from the band in 2006. On one of the last shows of the tour, the Black Queen invited drummer Chris Hornbrook from Poison the Well to play "Apocalypse Morning", the final song of the set. Hornbrook first met Puciato on the 2003 Take Action Tour and was also part of an early, less electronic incarnation of the Black Queen before they had released any music. The last shows of that tour were increasingly aggressive and mirrored some of Greg Puciato's performances in Dillinger.
