bcb723 What if I was to tell you there was a one man black metal band that sounds like a mash of Nocturno Culto vocals, guitars/synths like The Cure & melodies that get stuck in your head straight from the early 00s Sam's Town-era Killers? Oh yeah & it's well produced w/ an old school progressive concept storyline?? Welcome to The Killing Room - the world of Spider God, Jesus tap-dancing Christ 🤯. Btw I have no idea what "Turn On Your Red Light Roku San" means, but it makes me want fight somebody haha Favorite track: 六さん (roku san).

metal_eye Like getting lost in a labyrinth of harsh whispers, melodic post-punk guitar, and video game sound effects. Just incredible. Mind-warping. Favorite track: シリコンバレーの魔女 (silicon witch).

David Fischer I'm not sure yet which one of their 'original' albums I enjoy more, but The Killing Room definitely is an impressive next step! The duration has been cut, the sound is sharper and clearer, the pop influences are even more prominent than on its predecessor (just listen to the rocky but still blackened s.p.i.d.e.r.g.o.d.) and 殺人室 (the killing room) is definitely the best song this band has recorded to this day. Very ambitioned and brave, gentlemen! I will definitely keep this on heavy rotation. Favorite track: 殺人室 (the killing room).

Crawling in another’s skin Devil sick of sin Your exo-skeleton Sold at the crossroads Watching through another’s eyes Devil in disguise Your exo-skeleton Sold at the crossroads Secret prizes Infernal devices Evil rises Glory or damnation! Come all you faithful Come all you lost Worship at the altar of your god Come all you sinners Take up your cross Worship at the altar of the Spider God! Captive in another’s web Devil must be fed Your exo-skeleton Sold down the river Poison in another’s cup Devil fills you up Your exo-skeleton Sold down the river We’re like the spider We weave our life Then move along in it. We’re like the dreamer who dreams The lives in the dream. Shake off this mortal coil Spin your lie Shake off this mortal coil Step inside

I can hear a voice I can hear it through the wall Calling me Hey Faustus Hey Faustus The mirror belies the truth I can see a face I can see it through the glass Darkly Hey Faustus Hey Faustus The murderer is you Smoke portals into darkness Engraved red glyphs on doors Shared playthroughs in disguises Each room grants our desires Synaptic path is damaged End result generated or dreamt? Seek pleasure in destruction: Enter real games of death! Turn on your red light, Roku San Roku-Roku-Roku San I can feel a force I can feel it in my bones Controlling me Hey Faustus Hey Faustus Sign on the line I can see the truth I can see it in my mind Darkly Poor Faustus Poor Faustus Blind by the light True knowledge behind the door I have drunk and seen the spider True knowledge can’t be undone I have drunk and seen the spider

I can see it in your eyes I can see it in my bloodshot eyes Feel the metal in your hand Feel the metal in my trembling hand I’ve found an error I’ve found a glitch We kill together It’s the curse of the silicon witch I can smell it on your skin I can smell it on my crawling skin And you’ll never feel a thing But I can feel everything Wake up, Wake up, Faustus Wake up, Wake up, Faustus Wake up, Wake up, Faustus The murderer is you
5.
Morbid curiosity Leads you down the darkest path Scopophilic ecstasy Leads you down the darkest path Wait there for death Bated drawn breath As you sink Into the black web Into the black web Morbid curiosity Pulls you into the strangest dream Scopophilic ecstasy Pulls you into the strangest dream They’ll find you guilty; Confess! They’ll find you guilty, Faustus Morbid Curiosity This will be the death of me Scopophilic ecstasy This will be the death of me

This is your final warning: This isn’t a drill Who will wash this blood from our hands? The realisation’s dawning: This isn’t a game Who will wash this blood from our hands? When the cloud comes And the smoke is in your eyes Seize the cloak and the dagger behind Roku San, fuck you! A killer cannot cure what’s inside him It’s curiosity that kills him KilSim KilSim KilSim KilSim This is your final warning: Get out while you can Who will wake these innocent ones? The realisation’s dawning: This isn’t a game No-one will wake them; they’re gone. I’ve spun a web and I’ve left it for you In California Follow the thread, there’s a killer for you In California
7.
No day, no night Since her blood was shed No dark, no light Since her blood was shed No emotion, no tears Since her blood was shed No feeling, no breath In the killing room Blood was shed You’d best be careful: This game is cursed Possess the devil And make him worse No absolution, no escape Since her blood was shed No second chances, no turning leaves Since her blood was shed I once was blind But now I see I once was lost But her truth has set me free: We are men, we are murderers We are men, destroyers of worlds

about

One year on from the critically-acclaimed debut album, Fly in the Trap, Spider God return with another epic slice of their homegrown brand of hyper-melodic black metal.

Part one of a two-part concept album, The Killing Room expands the true crime themes of their first record to tell the story of Faustus, an ex-band member who went missing under mysterious circumstances after becoming embroiled in a deadly online game known as 'Possess the Devil'. Legend has it that the album's lyrics were penned by Faustus himself, just before he disappeared, and the band have released this record in the hope that someone will be able to decipher his last words and unravel the mystery of his fate.

Through these eight blistering tracks, Spider God push their sound to new heights, weaving elements of goth rock, hardcore, and prog into the mix, and throwing curveballs of clean guitar and multi-phase suites along the way.

Who is Roku San? What is KilSim? How do you beat 'Possess the Devil'? All these questions will be explored in The Killing Room, and if you can survive until the second instalment, you may very well find an answer...

This is True Crime Black Metal.

This is Spider God.
