Last month new band Fight Dice, featuring members of Braid, Hey Mercedes,The Promise Ring, Maritime and more announced their debut LP Total Party Kill. That album is due out 20 Sep 2024 via Forge Again Records, and the band also released the first single “Magic Pact” at the same time.
Fight Dice are directly inspired by the fantastical adventures of the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop role-playing game. Now they’ve got a new single and video, “Kill the Drider.” If you know what that is, you’re a nerd (that’s OK, we knew it, too… you’re in good company). If you don’t, in the D&D world it’s like a centaur, but a dark elf (aka drow) upper half and spider for the lower half. “Dr”ow + sp”ider” = drider.
Anyhow, Fight Dice must have a high Charisma score plus a decent roll of the d20, because this song and video is a win!
Preorders for the album on digital download at the Fight Dice Bandcamp, and two vinyl variants are up at the Forge Again Bandcamp page.
the white drew carey (aka – Jeff Sorley) is the founder and head editor of TGEFM. He’s lived (outside of) Chicago, Madison WI, (ugh) Penn State, Lyon FR, Oxford UK, central New Jersey, and now within earshot of SFO in the Bay Area. When not scouring the web for more great bands and labels to post about, he also spends time drawing (mostly) silly sci-fi and anime stuff under the name Asplenia Studios.
