Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

Just when all hope seemed lost, when the chips weren’t just down, they had been fried, assaulted by fat and consumed with all the gourmet finery available to those in a busy city centre on a Saturday night out, the British Heavy Rock brigade gets the shot in the arm it has craved since Black Sabbath’s phenomenal album 13 was released. Sheffield’s Black Spiders fit the bill perfectly as one of Britain’s Rocks finest as they survey the wreckage that the Metal scene has become and This Savage Land is more than grateful.
