Spidergawd Announce European Tour; Spidergawd 3 Due Jan. 22
Posted in Whathaveyou on December 9th, 2015 by JJ Koczan
Maybe you don’t yet know how much you should be looking forward to the release of Norwegian heavy rockers Spidergawd‘s new album, Spidergawd 3, but you should be. The four-piece recorded their third outing this fall with bassist Bent Sæther producing and will issue the results Jan. 22 via Stickman Records and Crispin Glover Records, continuing a quick succession of output that has thus far brought forth 2015’s Spidergawd II (review here) and their 2014 self-titled debut (review here). Working in classic form as regards things like song structure and flourish of bluesy or psychedelic heavy rock, it seems also that Spidergawd enjoy working at a classic-style album-a-year pace. The more the merrier.
Even before they so memorably kicked my ass at Roadburn this year, I was looking forward to what the next Spidergawd might bring, and if the new full-length and the extensive European touring they’ve newly announced help turn more heads internationally in their direction, then all the better. They seem to have caught on in Europe pretty well — lineage that includes prog heavyweights Motorpsycho doesn’t hurt in that regard — but I feel like the US audience should stand up and take notice here too, or else miss out on a genuinely killer band.
Here are the confirmation of the Jan. 22 release and those tour dates:
