Black Spiders Launch “Stabbed In The Back” Video & Announce UK Tour Dates

When Sheffield’s Black Spiders announced their hiatus in 2017, no one in their right minds would have predicted that when they did return, it would be in the middle of a global pandemic. But that is, of course, exactly what happened and in March of this year, Black Spiders unleashed their highly anticipated brand new self-titled album upon an eager and locked down audience. 

Critically acclaimed and hungrily lapped up by the Black Spiders fans, the album put the band firmly back on the map, the only piece missing from the jigsaw being the opportunity to take their new songs out onto the world’s stages where they belonged. With gigs scheduled to happen right after ‘Freedom Day’ in July, the band were scuppered once again and had to cancel the dates having fallen victim to the ‘ping-demic’. Thankfully, the Black Spiders were able to finally crank out their riffs at this year’s Bloodstock Festival for a triumphant set and are now primed to tour the UK in November and will be releasing a new single from the aforementioned album, the defiant Stabbed In The Back, on November 12th

“Even before Julius Caesar made it popular, people have been getting ripped off, misrepresented, fucked over and double-crossed, left, right and centre. It happens all the time and we are no strangers to this occurrence. You just have to find the strength to carry on and keep some dignity. It’s been and continues to be such a strange time, so we’re still getting used to being out and about. We set out to tour this album this year and we are determined to honour that. We are already back in the studio, recording towards our next release, so we need to get out there and play these songs while we can!” (guitarist and vocalist Pete Spiby)
