Creeper

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 will be released on

Halloween (Oct 31st) goes deeper into that narraAve. ABer enamouring devotees and newcomers alike with the double

shot of tracks ‘Headstones’ and ‘Blood Magick (It’s A Ritual)’, CREEPER conAnue to cast a spell of anAcipaAon 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 seFng the scene. From there it becomes a characterisAcally 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 ambiAon 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 BriVsh 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 naraAves 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.

CREEPER have raided the abyss to present a range of collecAble curiosiAes for ‘SANGUIVORE II: MISTRESS OF DEATH’

which are available HERE. Physical formats include blood red and full moon white vinyl formats, both of which will soon

sell-out their limited ediAon runs - a ‘SANGUIVORE’ double-bill casseWe housed in an old school VHS case has already sold-

out. New merch designs are just as imaginaAve, led by a ‘Mistress of Death’ embroidered bomber jacket and a

‘SANGUIVORE 666’ ice hockey shirt.

This year has already seen CREEPER complete sold-out UK headline shows as well as storm fesAvals from Rock Am Ring /

Rock Am Park and Graspop through to Bloodstock and Tomorrow’s Ghosts. Next up is a run of shows as special guests to

Ice Nine Kills.

CREEEPER will also appear at the MCM Comic Con at London’s ExCel on October 25th. Their social media mistress Darcia,

The Vampire Familiar will host a live panel to discuss the new album, and they will also parAcipate in a meet-and-greet

signing session.
