We know that Thorn, Necrochasm, Touch of Malice and Bad juju (Still under a bit of speculation but it seems to be a Weapon of Sorrow) are Weapons of sorrow. I've been wondering for quite sometime if Black spindle is also a weapon of sorrow.
[b]Weapons of Sorrow are guardian weapons that have been altered by Hive sorcery. [/b]
Black spindle was at one point most likely a normal sniper and was altered by the Hive or forbidden use of hive sorcery (meaning a guardian who used Hive sorcery on the weapon).
We should also take note of the Weapon's flavor text.
[i]“Your only existence shall be that which I weave for you out of [b]sorrow[/b] and woe.”[/i]
So what do the rest of you think? Is it a weapon of sorrow? I'm leaning towards a yes but I could be wrong.

Thorn and Nechrochasm are Guardian weapons altered by the Darkness; that seems to be the theme of the weapons of sorrow. The Thorn slowly corrupted a once noble Guardian. The Nechrochasm was created by the Hive but it feeds off aggression and anger, and it has a particular appetite for the Hive according to its description as Eidolyn Ally (it may even be sentient. Touch of Malice seems like a weapon of sorrow. It is a weapon altered by the Darkness and does feed off of you. Black Spindle probably isn't. Bad Juju may not be one either. It does seem to have Hive spines on it and that weird beak, but it doesn't seem to feed off of you in anyway.
