Ever since the band found its true north in the wake of Spidergawd III and started recording twin guitars on Spidergawd IV, the band's sole goal has been to craft excellent songs more than anything else. The band are more confident than ever that they have found THE recipe for what Spidergawd is all about. This is a band that consists of 5 members that are full time musicians who between them dabble in all genres. Yet the essence of what their collective project should be is now carved in stone and the band speaks with a more confident voice than ever. Although the songs on VII might be catchier/poppier than ever, the sound of the new album is easily traceable back to their earlier roots. The preceding sixth full-length was an inspiring and interesting trip into how "direct" and tidy their sound could be, taking a page out of the books of bands like Thin Lizzy and 80's heavy pop. The new album is significantly muddier, messier and bigger: everything that takes the listener closer to what's going down on stage in a live Spidergawd performance. Tracks like Sands Of Time, The Tower, Your Heritage or Dinosaur should prove that the band is on fire like never before. Like all the albums before this one, this new one is the band's favorite album so far. VII comes as a deluxe package including transparent red and black vinyl, a CD, a one-sided 7" with etching and poster!
