Gatecreeper announce new album, stream first single

Arizona death metal band Gatecreeper return with their sophomore album Deserted, due out October 4 through Relapse Records. Listen to the first single "Boiled Over" on YouTube here: Gatecreeper comment on "Boiled Over": "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." Deserted was recorded at Homewrecker Studios in Tucson, where Gatecreeper 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. Deserted's cover art was created by Brad Moore (Tomb Mold, Morpheus Descends) Additionally, Gatecreeper comment on Deserted: "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." Deserted track listing: 01. Deserted 02. Puncture Wounds 03. From The Ashes 04. Ruthless 05. Everlasting 06. Barbaric Pleasure 07. Sweltering Madness 08. Boiled Over 09. In Chains 10. Absence of Light
