TOUCH THE SPIDER
"Dead @ Last" (WhereAreYouFrom
Records;
2011)
Reviewed by R. Scott Bolton
Touch The spider is gloomy horror rock that reminds me of a cross between Marilyn Manson, Alice Cooper and and Destination Oblivion. It's bleak, slow, creepy stuff that never really rocks hard but is definitely loaded with atmosphere and texture.
The only problem is that it tends to drag on and on. By track 7, the pace hasn't changed much, the gloom and doom is getting old and it's all just a too little same-y.
If you're a fan of this type of eerie, atmospheric sound, you'll find plenty to like here. If not, "Dead @ Last" might not hold your attention throughout.

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
