Cancer Bats release music video for ‘Gatekeeper’

CANCER BATS have released a brand new music video!

The animated video, for the track Gatekeeper, is taken from the band’s sixth album The Spark That Moves, which was released last week. The video was directed by Stevie Gee and written by Gee and Essy May, who worked on MASTODON‘s Steambreather. Commenting on the video, Stevie Gee says, “Gatekeeper is one of the best tracks off the new album so I was so stoked to be making a video for it. I’ve been wanting to make a goofball violent 80s cartoon for a while so I was super happy to do that for my friends, the CANCER BATS. Hail destroyer!”

Speaking about the video, vocalist Liam Cormier says, “we are way too excited to release one of the greatest videos we have had the pleasure of being connected to. We cannot take any credit for it, STEVIE GEE is the creative mastermind behind the whole thing and HE DREW ALL OF IT!!” About the track, Liam adds, “the song is about those people we have the misfortune of crossing paths with in our lives, who use lies, schemes and deceit to make their way through this world. Everyone has a choice and it’s theirs to continue down this path that will never work out for them. They are the gatekeepers to their own future.”
