The Black Spiders will hit the road straight after touring with Airbourne, and we are excited to announce that this will include their hometown show at Sheffield Union in Fusion on April 24.

The band, who have been compared with Black Sabbath and AC/DC by Kerrang and NME played at Download Festival last year, and will be heading to SXSW in Texas this year. It's a great time for the band as they work on their debut album.

Support comes from Slaves to Gravity, and the brilliant Sheffield band Down Slide. The Black Spiders have been getting top reviews....

"Rock Warriors.....soon to be cult heroes, for fans of Black Sabbath, AC/DC and TurboNegro..." - Kerrang!

"We had Black Spiders in for a session live at Maida Vale and what a treat it was too, let me tell you.....Absolutely the best rock band I've EVER heard. I love this band..... They are going to be massive!" - Daniel P. Carter - Radio One rockshow

"If you like the first three Black Sabbath albums, then you're going to go absolutely fucknuts for The Black Spiders. Recalling the likes of Turbonegro, Zeke or Afghan Whigs, this four piece peddle crotch-sodden sleaze-rock that touches upon questions of theology, violence and, naturally, major league rutting." - NME
