Creeper detail forthcoming album, Sanguivore II: Mistress Of Death
Creeper have announced the release of their new album, SANGUIVORE II: MISTRESS OF DEATH, alongside the release of its lead single, "BLOOD MAGICK (IT’S A RITUAL)".
SANGUIVORE II: MISTRESS OF DEATH is a thematic sequel rather than a direct continuation of the original story of the band's 2023 album, SANGUIVORE.
William Von Ghould introduces the story: “Beneath the flashing neon of a distant dream, a rock and roll nightmare is coming true. A vampire band rampages across 1980s America, leaving only corpses behind. But on the horizon, a shadow stirs. Part slasher, part satanic panic nightmare, a new force rises through the mist, ready to hunt the hunter. The Mistress Of Death is a vampire huntress on a path to end this vampire bloodline for good. But can she stake their hearts before the final curtain falls?”
Following "Headstones", and the video which first introduced CREEPER as the fictional band on stage in full theatrical chaos, the new "BLOOD MAGICK (IT’S A RITUAL)" visual shifts the focus to the hedonism and evil happening behind the scenes while they’re on tour. Directed by Harry Steel, it blends original footage with curated stock to capture the surrealism of Rob Zombie’s House of 1000 Corpses and the fever dream energy of Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers.
The result, says Ghould, is “a blood-soaked, sexed up, psychedelic vampire rock fantasy and easily one of the wildest videos we’ve ever made.”
