Bio
Crystal Spiders originally emerged in 2019 as the brainchild of bassist and vocalist Brenna Leath, who wanted to explore a new creative path after years performing with Lightning Born. Quickly establishing themselves as pioneers of a new breed of heavy rock and stoner doom, their first self-recorded demo secured them a spot on The Obelisk’s yearly ranking of short releases, followed up shortly by a debut album release with Ripple Music.
Building on the foundations laid by legends from Black Sabbath and Judas Priest to Fu Manchu, Kyuss, Windhand and beyond with an innovative approach, Crystal Spiders infuse the best elements of both classic rock and heavy metal dynamics with a hazy, psychedelic, doomed-out edge, resulting in a raw blend of powerhouse vocals, fuzzed-out bass lines, and shredding guitar dubbed “captivating and enchanting, whilst being bloody brilliant in equal measure” by The Razor’s Edge.
Having earned both global critical acclaim and the support of a diverse, growing fanbase extending well beyond their North Carolina roots over multiple singles, two full-length albums — MOLT and MORIERIS — and a slew of electric gigs to date, Crystal Spiders’ momentum is now at an all-time high as they prepare for their biggest year yet. An eagerly-awaited third full-length album and an appearance at Maryland Doom Fest are already on the horizon for 2025, with tour dates forthcoming.
