Nothing is ever easy for Black Spiders, never straightforward, theres always a plethora of circumstances, bad luck and karma. Their last album, released in 2023, was titled Cant Die, Wont Die and here we are at the dawn of 2025 and theyre still not fucking dead. Back with a brand-new album of high-voltage smashers, the Sheffield righteous rockers are set to release new album Cvrses this coming February 28th on Dark Riders via Cargo Distribution.

Featuring twelve new tracks of exactly the kind of soaring rock n roll action weve all come to expect, love and demand from Black Spiders, their intentions are the same now as they were from the very the moment they started back in 2008 be true to yourself, no compromise.

Stick to that formula and everything will be alright is what we hope and then with a little bit of luck life might surprise you, says guitarist Pete Spiby. Its our fifth album, from the point of view of myself and Irwin. Its our best. Our statement of intent has not changed from day one.

Recorded once again at Axis Studios in Doncaster with producer Matt Ellis behind the wheel, Cvrses is, and of course all bands say this, very possibly their best album yet. It successfully distils everything that is thrilling and life-affirming about Black Spiders unique brand of thumping heaviness. Massive riffs, massive hooks, massive beats. Its all massive.

Opening song Never Enough is as good a statement of intent as youre ever going to get, crashing in with three cracks on the snare from drummer Wyatt Wendels, before a strutting garage rock riff pumps the album into immediate action. Never Enough is where the initial idea for the album title Cvrses came from, explains Pete. Its the reality of how you can be relentless in the pursuit of something, but once you get over the crest of that hill, theres another hill in the distance. More obstacles in life. So, everything is always just out of reach, but the positive side of that is youre still striving, living.

And from that moment on, Cvrses steams through a rollercoaster ride of rock emotions, from the hand-clapping ramalama of Cool Reaper, to the soaring balladry of Dia De Muertos, its all there, fully intact and in your face, right where proper rock should be.

And why is the album called Cvrses? Well, Cvrses has double meanings, on one hand its a supernatural punishment, invoked to do harm, and its also a very old English swear word. Both of these meanings ring true in every sense of the word in relation to Black Spiders.

As long as that drive is in the tank, we will keep going, because thats what we need to do, summarises Pete and Cvrses to anyone that tries to stop them.
