Arizona death-metal crew Gatecreeper are one of the underground’s best young bands. Just check out their huge new single “Everlasting” for the evidence. The steamrolling cut appears on the group’s forthcoming second LP, Deserted, and follows up the equally badass lead single “Boiled Over.”
“‘Everlasting’ shows the murkier side of Gatecreeper to close out the A side of Deserted,” frontman Chase Mason said of the song. “We incorporated some new subtle elements into this song like the Finnish-style guitar lead, the fast 1-2 beat in the bridge and the slamming pinch harmonic riff towards the end. The repetitive outro lowly drills into your brain and fades out before it’s time to flip the record over for the second half.”
Deserted is due October 4th via Relapse. You can pre-order the album via Relapse and catch the group live at the tour dates below.
