LP - Limited Edition Coloured Vinyl.
With Since re-assembling Avengers-style (though probably more Suicide Squad!) in 2020, Black Spiders have made a compelling case for heavy guitar music from the sin city streets – revelling in the glories of the genre, its sacred lore, with a top-shelf collection of riffs, a sly dash of humour, plus an iconic logo that sits alongside the best.
It’s a cocktail fans have come to savour, and it’s here in double-measure on the UK outfit’s latest / fourth studio album, ‘Can’t Die, Won’t Die’ – 42 minutes of back-street trouble, produced by regular studio compadre, Matt Elliss, and featuring lead single / video ‘Hot Wheels’ – a tussle between riffs an’ hooks.
In support of their studio albums (the most recent of which hit the No. 7 spot on the UK Independent Albums chart ), plus a fistful of EPs, Black Spiders have toured with the likes of Volbeat, Danzig, Airbourne and Monster Magnet, and appeared at all of the UK’s leading festivals, including Download, Sonisphere and Bloodstock.
Noted for their rousing rock ‘n’ roll slogans (“EAT THUNDER, SHIT LIGHTNING!”), the Spiders are the perfect low-slung machine to clench a tattooed fist to, and ‘Can’t Die, Won’t Die’ (“A party album from top to tail, every track a banger!” – frontman Pete Spiby) is sure to add more burnt tread to their tyres, as they look to spend much of 2023 out on the road.
R.I.Y.L.: Heaven’s Basement, The Wildhearts, Massive Wagons, Black Star Riders.
