Gatecreeper announce new album ‘Deserted’
GATECREEPER have announced a brand new album!
The album, titled Deserted, is the second album from the Arizona death metal band and is scheduled for release in October.
The album was recorded at Homewrecker Studios in Tucson, where the band co-produced the album with engineer Ryan Bram. CONVERGE guitarist Kurt Ballou handled the mix at Godcity in Salem, MA, and Brad Boatright mastered the album at Audiosiege in Portland, OR. The cover art was created by Brad Moore (TOMB MOLD, MORPHEUS DESCENDS, and more.)
Speaking about the upcoming record, the band says, “we are very proud to finally unleash our second full length album. There are plenty of new and exciting elements mixed into our songwriting formula, but the most apparent evolution is simply getting better at what we have been doing since the beginning. Our experiences over the 3 years have made us a stronger band all around. With Deserted we wanted to solidify and define the GATECREEPER sound of memorable songwriting with both infectious hooks and crushing riffs.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have also released the first single, titled Boiled Over.
Speaking about the track, the band says, “the first song from Deserted we chose to share with the world is Boiled Over. With this song, we tried to capture the melodic side of BOLT THROWER mixed with the crushing heaviness and groove of bands like OBITUARY or CROWBAR. There is a confident swagger to the song that any fan of heavy music can enjoy.”
