Tarantula A.D. a band who meld classical techniques of composition with rock and heavy metal elements.
You can't fault Tarantula A.D. for talent. Each of the group's three members -- Danny Bensi, Saunder Jurriaans, and Gregory Rogove -- play multiple instruments passionately if not always virtuosically. The songs on the album combine chamber-music sounds of cello, violin and piano with the more familiar rock sounds of guitar, bass, and drums in multi-tracked layers, with complex interplay of instrumentation and thematic elaboration, so that it's rare the music sounds as thin as a trio.

They have collaborated with:Sierra Casady from CoCoRosie, Alexander and Damon McMahon from Inouk, and Devendra Banhart.

This new Midlands based 'post DOOM' ' trio mix crushing dreamy soundscapes,
eerie folk and psychedelic slabs of guitar to illustrate their own
apocalyptic vision of a decaying natural world. Influenced by everything
from Neurosis and Jesu to Agalloch and Slint, they utilise rising chords and
simple picked guitars to hypnotising effect.
