Gatecreeper, the Arizona-based death metal band, has just released their new single "Masterpiece of Chaos" from their eagerly anticipated album "Dark Superstition," slated for release on May 17. This track promises to deliver all the raw power and intensity that fans have come to expect from the band.
The new single plunges listeners into a nightmarish vision described by vocalist Chase Mason as "a broken mirror with an ominous creature that lives within the fragmented web of glass." The song is both a contrast and a complement to the more melodic directions explored in other tracks of the upcoming album. "Masterpiece of Chaos" features the band’s signature heavy riffs and aggressive vocals, making it a perfect teaser for what's to come.
"Dark Superstition," Gatecreeper’s third full-length album and their debut on Nuclear Blast, is described as more concise, melodic, and memorable than their previous works. The album explores themes of the supernatural, divination, and the fear of the unknown, intertwined with personal experiences of the band members. The title references the Superstition Mountains in Arizona, known for their haunting beauty and legendary tales.
For this album, Gatecreeper collaborated with drummer and songwriter Fred Estby of the Swedish death metal band Dismember, whose influence permeates the record. The album was recorded and mixed by Kurt Ballou of Converge at God City Studios in Salem, MA, promising a production that's both raw and polished.
Amidst their new release, Gatecreeper will embark on a busy tour schedule starting this month with In Flames, followed by a headline tour across the West Coast and Southwest. The tour will include stops in major cities such as Los Angeles, Seattle, and San Francisco, with support from bands like Undeath, Jarhead Fertilizer, and Final Gasp.
Gatecreeper's steady rise in the metal scene since their formation in 2013 has been impressive. From their self-titled debut EP to their full-length albums "Sonoran Depravation" and "Deserted," the band has carved out a niche for themselves within the death metal genre. They have previously shared stages with major acts like Cannibal Corpse and Obituary, consistently building their reputation and fanbase with each performance and release.
With "Dark Superstition," Gatecreeper is not just releasing an album; they are defining a pivotal moment in their career. The new single "Masterpiece of Chaos" is a clear indicator that this album is set to be a significant milestone in their ongoing evolution as a band.
Fans can purchase tickets for the upcoming shows and find more information on the band’s official website. With the release date approaching and a comprehensive tour schedule, Gatecreeper is gearing up for a monumental year.
