Creeper Releases 1980s-Themed Album Sanguivore II October 31

Creeper is set to release their fourth album, Sanguivore II: Mistress of Death, on October 31 via Spinefarm, continuing the narrative from their acclaimed 2023 album Sanguivore. The new album serves as a thematic sequel, exploring a fresh story tied to the original's vampiric universe, inspired by the moral hysteria of the 1980s Satanic Panic and its impact on hard rock and heavy metal culture. The lead single, "Blood Magick (It's A Ritual)," combines 1980s metal influences and theatrical vocal interplay, presenting a dark, psychedelic vampire rock fantasy. Frontman William Von Ghould describes the album's storyline as a vampire band terrorizing 1980s America while a new vampire huntress, the Mistress of Death, rises to end their bloodline. Produced by Tom Dalgety, the album embraces excess and theatricality, blending glam-metal fever dream aesthetics with gothic and horror elements. Creeper’s continuation of the Sanguivore saga marks a bold reinvention, maintaining their reputation for dramatic storytelling and musical intensity.
