This live iteration of ‘Spider Season’ by Neon Oracle showcases a tight band with terrific stage musicianship, delivering menacing rhythms and ominous riffs with a delightfully tight grip on all aspects of the performance.
Neon Oracle are an industrial and electronic metal outfit based in Liverpool. The 5-piece band are known for their electronic beats, dark guitar riffs and bass grooves, vocals that charismatically blend clean and fried, as well as their electrifying stage presence and massive sound, both of which are on full display on today’s cut. Recorded live at Matchbox Studios in Warrington, UK, ‘Spider Season’ is a heavy handed and technically demanding piece of industrial and heavy metal that is delivered with precision and panache, showcasing a band with terrific stage chemistry.
The massive sound of the song comes courtesy of grandiose pads, a bass and drums groove that shapeshifts regularly alongside vocals that are just as varied and engaging, for a final result that’s totally gripping. The group’s lyrics about the occult and the hidden darknesses within societies always promise haunting atmospheres and unforgettable stories.
‘Spider Season’ receives a lot of love when the band plays it live, which is why they decided to capture its live essence for us all to enjoy as well. The result is a display of a capable live band pulling off challenging rhythm chops, guitar riffs, and song building like it is nothing, getting us all very excited for more to come from Neon Oracle.
