Since their inception in 1986, "SPIDER KICKERS" have been an inspiration in the Greek death/thrash metal scene. Their latest album, "Necrosupper", is a powerful testament to their enduring presence and evolution within the genre. With this release, the band continues to push the boundaries of their sound while remaining true to their Greek Death/Thrash Metal roots. "SPIDER KICKERS" have always prided themselves on their technical prowess, and "Necrosupper" is no exception. The album showcases this commitment in spades. Guitarists "Kostas Papadimitriou" and "Kostas Kalampokas" deliver an array of ferocious riffs and complex solos that are both brutal and captivating. Their playing is tight and precise, balancing aggressive thrash elements with the darker, more intricate aspects of death metal. Drummer and vocalist "James Edouarth" proves to be the driving force behind the album, with blistering double-bass patterns, Blast beats,  and intricate fills that provide a formidable foundation for the tracks.
