Spider God – Fly in the Trap Review

By Doom_et_Al on November 16, 2022 in Reviews, 35 comments

“In January, The Sponge nearly broke this goddamn site with his review of Spider God’s album-of-covers, Black Renditions. Now that the dust has settled, two truths have emerged: First, Ken was completely sincere in his love for that album, and his great review perfectly mirrored those feelings. And second, I completely disagree with him. Don’t get me wrong: I don’t hate Black Renditions. I just thought (and still think) that an album of other people’s material should never score that highly. Now Spider God is back with their debut collection of fully original material in the form of Fly in the Trap. Is the site about to be broken again?” Spider holes and site trolls.

Spider God – Black Renditions Review

“Every once in a blue moon, an album comes along that speaks to me so deeply that I break the rules to cover it. This year, that honor belongs to what is perhaps the most thoroughly unexpected album to ever grace these spongy orifices: UK one-man-band Spider God’s Black Renditions. I say mad science experiment because Spider God offers no new material whatsoever on Black Renditions—this, my friends, is a covers album. A pop covers album. I’m talking about Britney Spears, The Pointer Sisters, Backstreet Boys, among others.” Spider infections and burnt credibility.

Death. Void. Terror. – To the Great Monolith II [Things You Might Have Missed 2020]

“One of my main motivations regarding black metal is finding albums like this. Offerings from Ancient Moon, Dolorian, or Amnutseba have come close, hinting at a devastatingly empty atmosphere and pitch-black density through aural executions of dread that invoke the feeling of drifting in the eternal void. Attempts have never really hit the sweet spot, until Death. Void. Terror.’s 2018 debut To the Great Monolith.” Monoliths R Us.
