Description

For their third full studio album, Sanguivore, UK five-piece Creeper made a blood pact to give full rein to those things that truly define them; to take a flaming torch to the more dimly lit recesses of frontman Will Goulds ever-fertile mind. 40-plus minutes of music, combining the grandiose and the epic with the punk rock spirit that has been a cornerstone of the Creeper sound since their 2017 debut: a ripped leather jacket wrapped in a plush velvet cloak a cloak lined in red satin, of course. Drawing inspiration from folklore and myth, the more shadowy side of popular culture, Creeper have staked out a space that is their own; a misty world of gothic imagery and dark romance, of crypts and castle ruins, the unrequited and the undead a world where love comes at a price and beauty smiles with sharpened teeth. From opening statement Further Than Forever, a nineminute, multi-layered tour-de-force sure to put a smile on the face of the late Jim Steinman, through to closer Spook And Mercy, a late-night tale of little Mercy and her ravenous exploits, Sanguivore is a hugely ambitious, loosely conceptual journey through the glorious and the graphic.

For fans of Ghost, Sister Of Mercy, The Damned, HIM.
