Woo more songs about spiders! This time from Blitzkrieg, another NWoBHM band that’s been kicking it since 1980. Coupled with Satan’s new album, and I think Accept had a new album too(?), apparently 2024 is the year for older bands to knock the dust off their stacks and put together shredfests. Also apparently this is the same singer from Satan. Maybe he needs to buy a boat so releasing two albums gets him closer to his dream of sailing the seas in Yeah Buoy.

The song knocks it down the fairway with a good chugga riff coupled with some noodly lead guitaring. I do like the vocals, but I also like Satan the band (don’t wanna get that taken out of context, amirite?), and they fit really well with the band. Though he does sing about the spider’s sting. Maybe he’s thinking of a bee. Maybe there are arachnid bees in the UK and I managed to avoid them, because that seems like nightmare fuel.

The double solo at the 3/4 point is soaring and noodly and all you expect from a good heavy metal track. All in all it’s a solid track, and it’s great to hear bands shredding nearly 50 years going.

I’d be remiss to share a song about spiders without sharing Nekrogoblikon’s magic spider. Because that spider makes your wishes come true!
