Spider Priest

Spider Priest is a stoner/sludge metal band formed in Glasgow in 2010. Bashing out songs based on big, energetic riffs and featuring lyrics tackling important subjects such as ill-advised drunken one night stands, 2000AD's Slainé, and the (original) Clash of the Titans movie, Spider Priest keep it simple and keep it heavy.
Down-tuned, dirty sounding guitars and a heavy weight rhythm section are the solid foundations of Spider Priest.
