Creeper Kickstart New Era With Whirlwind Single 'Headstones'

Creeper have launched into a new era with whirlwind single ‘Headstones’, the first taste of upcoming album ‘Sanguivore II: Mistress Of Death’.

Bringing the curtain down on the ‘Sanguivore’ era last week with a sold-out performance of the album in full at London’s KOKO, the band wasted no time launching into their next chapter.

Introducing a new character, the Mistress of Death, during the show, they’ve revealed that new album ‘Sanguivore II: Mistress Of Death’ will arrive later this year.

Take a listen to the first single below:

Speaking on ‘Headstones’, frontman William Von Ghould has said:

“’Headstones’ is the first glimpse into Sanguivore II: Mistress of Death. Set in a blood-drenched vision of the 1980s, it follows a vampire rock band on a tour soaked in violence and excess. It features some of our heaviest and most theatrical guitar work yet, echoing Iron Maiden, with Lawrie Pattison and Ian Miles trading solos in the bridge. It’s also the fastest single we’ve released in years. Lyrically, it sets the stage for what’s to come in the album’s narrative, exploring the dark perils of rock ’n’ roll, sins of the flesh, and pure evil. This is the band at its most over-the-top and unashamedly dramatic. But as our hero Jim Steinman once said, “Sometimes going all the way is just the start.””

After a summer festival run, Creeper will join Ice Nine Kills as special guests on their UK arena tour.
