Spider Kitten To Release New Album 'Cougar Club' On January 14th

South Wales-based experimental metal outfit Spider Kitten have announced that they’ll release brand new album ‘Cougar Club’ on January 14th via Rugland Records.
There are some bands whose sound requires less of a description and more of a comprehensive lab test, and Newport’s influential Spider Kitten are most definitely one such band.
Originally formed as a duo (sans drummer) back in 2001 by founding members Chi Lameo (vocals, guitar) and Ptew (effects) it didn’t take long for the band to acquire an audience, and with it a cult reverence that over a decade on continues to stretch beyond the South Wales doom scene.
Spider Kitten have expanded their line-up in recent times to include respected noise merchants Chris West (ex-Taint) on drums, Rob Davies on guitar and Al White on bass, and their latest album ‘Cougar Club’ is not just a product of their now veteran status but a culmination of eleven years of experimentation.
From the opening eerie swell and crushing grind of ‘Twin Obscenities’ to the classic motoric rock groove of ‘Burdened’, this is without question Spider Kitten’s most complete and ambitious recording to date. A total blast for everyone who has waited for it, a reminder to those that might have forgotten, and the biggest kick in the head for those yet to hear how awesome they are, and have been for a long time.
You can check out forthcoming single 'Twin Obscenities' from Cougar Club below - look out for their album when it drops next month.
