Crystal Spiders Announce Morieris out Oct. 1; Title-Track Video Posted

crystal spiders

I had to ask what the third VHS is on the cover of the second Crystal Spiders album, Morieris — which, yes I apparently do plan on spelling wrong the first time I type it out every single time in spite of myself — is. Jurassic Park and Bram Stoker’s Dracula are plainly visible, and as a child of the ’90s, both were largely unescapable. Beneath them, however, is the original, not-remake Alfred Hitchcock classic, Psycho. I’m glad I asked. There was no way I was sleeping last night without knowing.

Morieris — there I go again — is out Oct. 1 on Ripple Music, and the makes a tantalizing first single of the patient roll in its newly-unveiled title-track. The vocals are a little farther back in the mix than on 2020’s Molt (review here), the results seemingly more atmospherically minded as the duo-plus flesh out their sound. I haven’t heard the full record yet, but I can only look forward to it based on what I’m hearing so far.

But let’s be honest, I was looking forward to it anyway.

From the PR wire:

Crystal Spiders Morieris

CRYSTAL SPIDERS to release new album ‘Morieris’ this October 1st on Ripple Music; new video and preorder available

North Carolina’s acclaimed heavy duo CRYSTAL SPIDERS announce the release of their sophomore album ‘Morieris’ on October 1st through Ripple Music, as well as the contribution of Corrosion Of Conformity’s Mike Dean on lead guitar on the album. Get mesmerized by the video for new single “Morieris” now!

For their eagerly anticipated follow up ‘Morieris’, North Carolina duo CRYSTAL SPIDERS bassist Brenna Leath and drummer Tradd Yancey take a lead guitar assist from Mike Dean (Corrosion of Conformity bassist, and Leath’s bandmate in Lightning Born) for a rollercoaster ride of doomy atmospherics, razor-sharp riffs, and infectious rhythms.

With their second offering, CRYSTAL SPIDERS builds upon and refines the whiplash intensity of ‘Molt’ to experiment with intricate harmonies, thundering breakdowns, and orchestral instrumentals (including guest cello from High Priestess Nighthawk of Heavy Temple). 2020 saw their debut album ‘Molt’ seated on many Album of the Year charts, and with ‘Morieris’, there’s no doubt the 2021 lists will save a spot for them as well.

The video for the title track “Morieris” was animated by Max Rebel of Ripple Music labelmates Plainride, with a lyrical theme inspired by the myth of Echo and Narcissus from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, and visuals inspired by Salvador Dali’s surrealist work ‘Metamorphosis of Narcissus’. New album ‘Morieris’ is due out on October 1st and available to preorder through Ripple Music on limited edition splatter vinyl, black vinyl, CD and digital.
