BLACK SPIDERS NEW STUDIO ALBUM, ‘CAN’T DIE, WON’T DIE’, SET FOR RELEASE MAY 12th VIA SPINEFARM
17th February 2023Since re-assembling Avengers-style (though probably more Suicide Squad!) in 2020, Black Spiders have continued to make a loud and compelling case for heavy guitar music from the sin city streets, with three chords and the truth – 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 there 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 set for worldwide release via Spinefarm on May 12th, the band’s first campaign with the label.
As a taste of things to come, a shot before the pint, lead single / video ‘Hot Wheels’ is out now; it sees the band – led into action by frontman, Pete Spiby – in a variety of scenarios and settings, at one point surviving a close encounter with a rampant shark (sort of).
“It’s a party album from top to tail, every one a banger! As usual, there is something for everyone and maybe some surprises. We went all out, balls out on this record, each track is an ear worm. Never has a title been more apt!” – Black Spiders
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 a variety of rock’s most riff-hungry sons, the likes of Volbeat, Danzig, Airbourne and Monster Magnet, and appeared at all of the UK’s leading festivals, including Download, Sonisphere and Bloodstock.
Even though guitarist Ozzy has decided to retire, their plan is to spend much of 2023 out on the road, with the following shows and festivals thus far confirmed…
