CREEPER’s ‘Sanguivore’ proved to be their most career-defining album to date, propelling them to their biggest headline show at the OVO Wembley Arena. Their new album ‘SANGUIVORE II: MISTRESS OF DEATH’, which was released on Halloween (Oct 31st), goes deeper into that narrative. Afer enamouring devotees and newcomers alike with the double shot of tracks ‘Headstones’ and ‘Blood Magick (It’s A Ritual)’, CREEPER continue to cast a spell of anticipation with the new single ‘Prey For The Night’.
Throwback darkwave synth stabs flail into the darkness as ‘Prey For The Night’ gets underway, with William von Ghould’s sinister baritone setting the scene. From there it becomes a characteristically lavish and larger-than-life sound, blending classic ‘80s hard rock riffage, a searing Steinman-esque chorus, theatrical vocal interplay with keyboardist Hannah Greenwood and a blast of saxophone. Even the Atle is possessed by a devilishly dark double meaning.
CREEPER’s ambition is to always go bigger, grander and more unpredictable than before – and that’s what they’ve achieved with ‘SANGUIVORE II: MISTRESS OF DEATH’. The story follows a British rock band immersed in the decadence of an American tour at the height of the Satanic Panic of the ‘80s. Yet each stop leaves fresh decay in the shape of a mysterious trail of deceased fans. The world is quick to lay blame at the bloodied hands of the band, but there’s more to this story than is first apparent… enter the ruthless hunter, Mistress Of Death who is on their trail with all axe and no mercy. The album is bookended with narratives from, good friend of the band, Patricia Morrison (Sisters Of Mercy and The Damned) and the strings come courtesy of the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.
This year has already seen CREEPER complete sold-out UK headline shows as well as storm festivals from Rock Am Ring / Rock Am Park and Graspop through to Bloodstock and Tomorrow’s Ghosts. They just finished up a run of shows as special guests to Ice Nine Kills.
