TOUCH THE SPIDER " Tales Of Woe "
( Where Are You From Records ) 2010.
CD - GERMANY
Doom/goth/psychedelic/post new wave

A two German mates - Unholy Ghost and Cosmic Energy are discographically active again with its actuelle offering, a third album entitled " Tales Of Woe". Touch The Spider continously follows up its conception, recognized also from band's previous 2 albums - " I Spit On Your Grave" and " Souls For Sale". Again, in its own way, a group has tasted darkest side of life, mixing a several genre's elements, as a : doom, gothic, psychedelic, post new wave...
Their themes are obsessive and agressive in the same time, but German tandem in best possible way accepts a standards of our time. Most of songs posses monotonous and hypnotic up tempo performings, without boring and repeatable details. " Tales Of Woe" maybe little more than previous 2 albums accepts 80's dark wave/goth/post new wave details, but other things are going in expecting direction. Finally, " Tales Of Woe" is another inspirative album, done by mentioned Germans.
