"Sanguivore" CD od Creeper

For their latest, and third full studio album 'Sanguivore', the five Brits from Creeper have made a blood pact to fully concentrate on the things that truly define them; to delve into the dimly lit corners of frontman Will Gould's always fertile mind with a burning torch.

The result: over 40 minutes of music that combines the grandiose and epic with the punk rock spirit, which has been a cornerstone of Creeper's sound since their 2017 debut: a torn leather jacket wrapped in a plush velvet cloak - a cloak lined with red satin, of course. Inspired by folklore and myth, the darker side of popular culture, Creeper have carved out their own space; a misty world of gothic imagery and dark romance, of crypts and castle ruins, of unrequited love and the undead - a world where love comes at a price and beauty smiles with sharpened teeth.

From the opening track 'Further Than Forever', a nine-minute, multi-layered Tour-de-force that would bring a smile to the late Jim Steinman's face, to the closing track 'Spook And Mercy', a nocturnal tale about little Mercy and her ravenous actions, 'Sanguivore' is an extremely impressive, loosely conceptual journey through the glorious and graphic.
