After revealing their grand plans onstage at London’s KOKO over the weekend, Creeper are now gearing up to release the first single from Sanguivore II: Mistress Of Death later this week.
Creeper have announced a brand-new album, Sanguivore II: Mistress Of Death.
Following its 5/5-rated 2023 predecessor Sanguivore, the band are set to drop the sequel “this Halloween season” (obviously), initially revealing their plans onstage on Friday night at London’s KOKO.
Since then, they’ve taken to social media to let the wider world know, and confirmed that, “If you’re already thirsting at the thought of more blood, your first taste comes this Friday, June 6.”
Speaking on Kerrang! In Conversation back in September, frontman Will Gould and guitarist Ian Miles pondered what was coming next, with the singer explaining that it was “very tempting to do what we always do which is burn everything down and start completely anew” after Sanguivore – but feeling like Creeper are on a “creative roll”, they’ve instead forged on.
“Sometimes it’s hard for us to look that far ahead, but right now we’re super happy with what we’re doing on this record and I feel like we’ve got so much more to explore in this realm,” explained Ian. “If you take [Jim] Steinman apart and take Meat Loaf apart, and all the other records that Steinman’s done, there’s lots of rock, lots of metal, lots of Motown, there’s lot of R&B. It’s not just one genre in and of itself, and it’s so exciting to delve into that musically, and tear it apart and see what works and play around with it.”
