They descended from the land of ice and snow, forged on anvils by the hammers of the Gods……………
Black Spiders, originally put together to celebrate the passing of a dear friend and to tear up some classic rock n’ roll tunes in his honour, led by Pete ‘Spider’ Spiby with side-kick Ozzy ‘Ozzy’ Lister they set about writing tall tales and wrestling monstrous riffs. Thusly, and with great determination they began demoing tracks for a Long Player with past cohort Mark ‘Dark Shark’ Thomas. Killer shows followed with likeminded friends and heroes such as; SuperSuckers, and Dwarves…….audiences were duly slain! With the line up accommodating a face ripping triple-axe-attack, fully complemented by a rhythmic demolition squad expertly handled by ‘Tiger Si’ Atkinson on drums and Adam ‘Fox’ Irwin on bass, they set forth and tore up mainland Europe with the mighty Airbourne. Next came UK with The Datsuns, Winnebago Deal, Parlor Mob, Stone Gods and Danko Jones – these men are ready to take on a world that is eager for some rock and/or roll and have been called to appear at this year’s Download festival at the gladiatorial Donnington Park. “If you’re one of those people who like: a) the first three Black Sabbath albums, b) masturbating in church, or c) masturbating in church with Black Sabbath on your ipod, then you’re going to go absolutely fucknuts for The Black Spiders. Recalling the likes of Turbonegro, Zeke, or a less intellectual Afghan Whigs (that’s meant as a complement), this four piece peddle crotch-sodden sleaze-rock that touches upon questions of theology, violence and, naturally, major league rutting. They’re blatantly going to hell, but before they do, be sure to crack one off in their honor next time you’re in Bible class.” NME

The Black Spiders are a hard rock band from Sheffield, England, formed in 2008.

Black Spiders hail from Sheffield, led by Pete ‘Spider’ Spiby with Ozzy ‘Owl’ Lister on guitar, Mark ‘Dark Shark’ Thomas also on guitar, ‘Tiger Si’ Atkinson on drums and Adam ‘Fox’ Irwin on bass. 

To date they have released the single St. Peter (Dec 2008) Cinco Hombres (Diez Cojones) EP (July 2009) No Goats In The Omen EP (May 2010). They released their debut album Sons Of The North on 7th February – all releases on Dark Riders / Cargo Records.

Black Spiders have a wealth of touring experience under their collective belts throughout the UK in March/April 2010 with Airbourne and Europe and Scandinavia for 7 weeks at the end of 2010.

They have played many UK tours with Black Stone Cherry, The Datsuns, Stone Gods, Danko Jones, The Wildhearts and The Answer. In April 2010 they headlined their first tour with Slaves to Gravity supporting.

In July 2010 the band were hand picked by Ozzy Osbourne, to support him at the iTunes festival at the Roundhouse in London. Ozzy liked the band so much, he invited the band to play Ozzfest at the O2 Arena in London on the 18th September, later that year.

After the release of Sons of the North the band toured the UK in Feb 2011, with most shows selling out, supporting on these dates were Viking Skull and Turbo Wolf.
