Killer Review by Monolithic Heavy Metal Reviews!!!

Chad Rojas of Monolithic Heavy Metal Reviews does a fantastic write up of the live album by Spyderbone: "Bloodshot Live". Here is a sampling of the review. Click on the link below to read the whole review! Rock on brothas and sistas of metal!!

"This is a very good live recording with nicely done production I might add, by a young, energetic, up and coming newer band. It's comprised mostly of eight emotion driven, mid-paced, simple and to the point, crunching hard rockin' Metal tracks. I can also tell the band spent some lengthy time, writing quality lyrics with important messages to spread to the masses. And for the most part, there are many solid offerings on this album, but I have my favorites!

The first one is the emotionally infectious opener "Your God", where the band charges forward with fiery conviction on every single note, including some great solid metal riffs from Fixmer, and strong vocals from Gould; who spits out gut wrenching, emotionally charged words of anger, toward terrorism across the world.

The second one, is the heart wrenching "Fire in the Sky", which is a tribute to all the men and women who tragically died in the world trade center on September 11th, 2001. This is a faster track that really let Fixmer show his chops on his axe. This song has a great opening guitar riff and Fixmer shines on this track with quick bursts and flourishes of notes during his solo break. This is one of the highlights of this record.

Then there is the very catchy Godsmack inspired, radio friendly title track, "Bloodshot". This song comes complete with great piercing vocals by Gould, a tight rhythm section provided by Mabrey and Scianna, and some truly gnarly, 80's inspired, totally bitchin and dirty guitar riffage by Fixmer. There is no striking guitar solo in this one either, just plenty of Fixmer's Crunching chords, to bang your fucking head to...Hell Yes.. This track could definitely be a hit if given to the right radio station in Chicago."

Spyderbone 2012

Spyderbone would like to wish everybody Happy Holidays and thank everyone for their continued support! 2011 was a great year for the band, finally releasing "Bloodshot Live", and playing a bunch of killer shows with the likes of Anvil, Blackfinger, Deftones and Queensryche! 2012 promises to be even better for Spyderbone as shows are being booked, new material is being written and Vince Scianna has joined the band as our new bass player! Stay tuned and as always, Rock On!!!!

Show with Anvil and Paradoxx!

On November 4th, 2011, the Canadian metal band-Anvil rocked Chicagoland to it's foundations! Spyderbone and local legends-Paradoxx were there to offer their heavy metal support! Spyderbone started the night off with a blistering 40 minute set that got the crowd all riled up! The last of the cds and t-shirts were gone by the end of their set! Next, Paradoxx took the stage and continued the metal madness! By the time Paradoxx was done-the crowd was primed and ready for Anvil! Anvil started with Lips out in the crowd wailing on his guitar, playing with his teeth and singing into the guitar pick-ups! Once Anvil got going into all their classics-the place went up for grabs! Rob Reiner even did a killer drum solo! Of course they ended with their anthem-"Metal on Metal" and did a few encores! After they finished playing, they signed autographs, took pictures and talked to everyone that wanted to talk to them! Nobody does that anymore, and our hats are off to Lips, Rob and Glen of Anvil for totally restoring our faith in metal! Keep on Pounding indeed!

A review of the show has already been posted by metal webzine-"Metal Kaoz" and this is some of what they had to say about Spyderbone: 
"The sound and the lights were very good and hence I did enjoy the music of the Chicago based band. Ok, SPYDERBONE seem to belong to the mainstream US Metal scene with references to GODSMACK, maybe a pinch of BLS and other modern stuff that I have to admit are not on the top of my choice list. But their performance was tight and I have to give kudos to Michael Allen Gould for his very good vocals and to Jon Fixmer for the pretty good down tuned riff collection."
