Spiderweb is a Serbian heavy metal band, strictly guitar-oriented and the whole idea about this band is an attempt to hopefully shed some light on the nearly-extinct metal scene in these areas. Being influenced by numerous types of music, everything from classical, medieval and neo-classical to the 80' heavy and thrash metal, the band is not trying to run away from its influences (as many people are), but rather to merge them all in a homogeneous sonic experience.

The idea of putting Spiderweb together was born back in 2000. Although there were more unrealized ideas than the realized ones, it was a start. And so it began.
