Debut album 'Molt' set things straight with nine instant
proto-doom classics, dripping with enough swagger and fuzz to make the house
crumble down. Enhanced by the unrivaled production of Mike Dean (Corrosion Of
Conformity), Brenna Leath's hoarse vocals strike hard on top of the duo's
devastating rhythm section, giving a strong, catchy hard rock depth to the
whole record. Their cinematic debut video for "Trapped" was produced
by cult Chariot Of Black Moth team, for a sprawling incursion into Crystal
Spiders' world.
'Molt' will be available on September 25th and available now
to preorder via Ripple Music as:
- Rare Test Pressing LP
- Worldwide Edition Classic Black Vinyl LP
- Limited Edition Colored Vinyl LP

It didn’t take long for North Carolina’s CRYSTAL SPIDERS to draw
attention. The early poise of their self-recorded 2019 demo earned the doomy
psych band a spot on The Obelisk’s top short releases of 2019, and caught the
attention of Ripple Music head honcho Todd Severin, who decided to put out
their LP before he even heard the mixes. Only a year after recording their
three-song demo and debuting to a hometown crowd in downtown Raleigh, the band
helmed by bassist Brenna Leath and drummer Tradd Yancey will release their
full-length debut 'Molt' via Ripple Music.
This rebuff of genre conventions has been a steady current
in past and concurrent projects. Leath’s affection for classic metal and
hard-rock is as apparent in her charged rock ‘n’ roll outfit The Hell No as it
is in her doomy proto-metal band, Lightning Born, and Yancey lends a heavy
swing to the psych-seared doom crew Doomsday Profit. For 'Molt', CRYSTAL
SPIDERS pulls elements from across genres to create an album that traces the
band’s full spectrum. Early songs like “Tigerlily” and “Trapped” find new complements
in brand-new cuts like “Chronic Sick” and the title track. With a production
assist from Mike Dean — Corrosion of Conformity bassist and Leath’s bandmate in
fellow Ripplers Lightning Born — 'Molt' finds them at their most powerful.
Following a year of consistent gigging and short runs
alongside The Well and Omen Stones, CRYSTAL SPIDERS are looking to up the ante
with confirmed appearances at Raleigh Deathfest and the Maryland Doom Fest, as
well as ranging further along the East Coast and into the western US. Riding
the momentum of their first year of shows and the strength of a potent debut,
it’s a safe bet that they will soon take space in the minds of fuzz-addicted
legions far and wide. Debut album 'Molt' is coming out on September 25th 2020 through
Ripple Music.
