It’s become a winter tradition over the last several years to look for word of a new release from Norway’s Spidergawd. Since surfacing in 2014 with their self-titled debut (review here), the Trondheim four-piece heavy rock magnates have issued 2015’s II (review here) and 2016’s III (review here) through Stickman and Crispin Glover Records both as bright spots in their respective years’ dark early hours, quickly refining a songwriting process that’s never failed either to move forward from where it was just months before or to deliver catchy, classic-feeling material with a modern production bent. Their reputation has grown over these releases, to be sure, but it’s hard not to feel like they’re still underrated compared to the quality of work they do, let alone how often they do it.
