Black Spiders
High-octane British hard rock with a triple-guitar assault. It is the sound of a sweat-soaked club show where every chorus is a shout-along anthem.

Formed in Sheffield in 2008, Black Spiders emerged as a leading light in the UK's hard rock revival. Led by Pete 'Spider' Spiby, the band quickly gained a reputation for their high-energy live performances, earning them support slots with legends like Ozzy Osbourne and Airbourne.
Their sound identity is built on a foundation of classic influences - specifically the groove of AC/DC and the heaviness of early metal - reinterpreted through a modern lens that emphasizes thick production and anthemic songwriting. After a hiatus in the mid-2010s, their 2021 self-titled comeback album solidified their position in the independent charts, proving their enduring appeal to a fanbase that values 'no-nonsense' rock. Critically, they are praised for their lack of pretension and their mastery of the triple-guitar format, which provides a denser sonic profile than many of their contemporaries in the stoner and hard rock scenes.
