Creeper have continued to expand the scope of their goth-punk heart that took their previous album, Sex, Death & The Infinite Void, into the top five of the Official Album Chart.

First "Cry To Heaven" came across like an unholy union between The Sisters of Mercy and Glenn Danzig, before "Teenage Sacrifice" channelled the ire and anthemic punch of Judas Priest and Iron Maiden in their early ‘80s pomp. Now they embrace a darker side of black with their new single, "Black Heaven".

Presenting an important moment in the story between the album’s core characters, Spook and Mercy, the vocal interplay between William Von Ghould’s baritone croon and Hannah Hermione’s sweetly alluring vocal harmonies provides another standout touch, which was inspired by Nick Cave’s collaboration with the McGarrigle Sisters on the Bad Seeds’ track "Hallelujah".

“This song allows us to show a new side to the band and sees us experimenting with electronic elements properly for the first time. Taking influence from Depeche Mode and New Order, we try to push the boundaries of our sound out further than they’ve been before," says William Von Ghould.

After a surprise second stage headline set at Download and then playing the OVO Arena Wembley as part of the Heavy Music Awards, Creeper recently announced a London Lafayette show under their alter ego The Ghost Brigade, which sold out instantly leading to the addition of a matinee show that same day.

The band will then embark upon the ‘Sacred Blasphemy’ headline tour in November, which concludes with a third much larger London show at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on 10 November.
