GATECREEPER return with their highly anticipated new album Deserted. The new album, a furious mix of snarling guitars and driving, rhythmic pummeling takes death metal from its 80's Floridian roots and 90's Swedish expansion straight into the here and now. In fact, the vanguard of death metal in 2019 can be found under Arizona’s searing sun. That’s where GATECREEPER members-Chase Mason, guitarist Eric Wagner, bassist Sean Mears, drummer Matt Arrebollo and guitarist Nate Garrett-make their homes. Of course, the band nodded to their scorching home state with the title of their 2016 full-length debut, Sonoran Depravation. The theme continues on Deserted, which boasts songs like “Sweltering Madness,” “Boiled Over” and the double-meaning title track. You can hear the results on “From The Ashes,” a crushing cut primed for the European festival circuit. Over on side two, “Boiled Over” fuses classic BOLT THROWER with the pulverizing power grooves of sludge titans CROWBAR. Album closer “Absence Of Light” upholds GATECREEPER's tradition of finishing their records with a deathly doom dirge. 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 hallucinatory cover art was created by Brad Moore (TOMB MOLD, MORPHEUS DESCENDS, and more.)

Gatecreeper showing all these modern bands that you don't have to play fast to be supremely heavy.

This band is like the perfect blend of Sweden and Florida.

I hope the old man gets to the place where the band is playing, so they could give him some beer and other metal stuff :D

that melody in the outro (3:12) came unexpected but felt like a drop of tap water in a dry 3am throat

I love that chase actually has a mic in the video. I hate it when bands do performance type videos but they don’t have microphones. Sick song dudes. Hits mega hard towards the end.

Between djent, overproduction and ultra compressed tunes, this is "refreshing"... in an oldschool way.

Shout out Gatecreeper, awesome to have a death metal band repping Arizona and crushin it.

HM-2 pedal? That old school Swedish death metal sound is to die for.

So good to hear straight death metal in 2019. Make death metal great again.

I recognize where they're filming this, right between Phoenix and Tucson.

Wandering through chaos Scarred from nightmares Pushing past the things I've known Liberated Accelerating forward Shedding weight that brings us down Rising slowly from the ashes See the light Walk through the flames Overcoming fear kneeled before me Breaking free from limitations Bent but never broke We stand undefeated Seal your fate Walk through the flames Sweet release Stronger than ever Celebration of victory'

Living in Norway this is eerie close to the swedish early 90s sound,and that is positive if you ask me! Thanx Gatecreeper for the sounds,you will have a copy of this also in my collection!¥

This direction theyre going in is just perfect, not repeating the same album twice but its still heavy death metal. Imo Obituary, Bolt Thrower and Entombed are the obvious influences🤘🤘

this guitar tone is so fucking good, reminds me of good ol' Swedish Death Metal just amazing

Best song off the album imo. Love the harmonized riff

Im more psyched for the new Gatecreeper than Tool fans were for the new Tool

This will be the best album of the year! GATECREEPER is the future of DEATH METAL! Bringing old school back like never before!

Best new metal track I've heard this year

This is like a modern version of Bolt Thrower I fucking love It!!

Gatecreeper never fails at bringing happiness to my life

This is exactly what the extreme metal world needs. One of my favorites killing it!

Entombed-Dismember-Obituary. I Love it!!! 44 year old metal geezer

These ol' boys have gone n' stole me heart! 🤘🤘

1:59-2:19 I felt the soul of Obituary's classic Cause of Death 💀 love it ! Keeping the death metal torch burning strong

Guitar tone is perfect and vocals have gotten a lot better since previous productions

Former Seirra Vista resident. This is my favorite song of 2023. Saw you guys on Headbangers Boat twice and absolutely loved the show you put on. How did you crazy ass Arizonans create exactly the riffage we needed!?

If you like this I highly recommend Black Breath - great band.

It's criminal how heavy 2:16 is

Is it just me or did Gatecreeper get fucking amazing with their outros on this album so far!?

Damn this is the best year for metal in a long time \m/

Fantastic band, can't wait to buy the new album

This song stood in my recommendation, after watching first the Breaking Bad film trailer, I watched this and after that day I m totally hooked to the song. Looking forward to hear more ...

Can't wait to see em live in February!

That BOSS HM2 Gothenburg Swedish Death Metal sound...

Album of the year.

woah I didn't know Binging with Babish played bass in Gatecreeper

3:12 - end. New sound for Gatecreeper. Love it.

old school with a swedish sound ? fuck yeah!

This song is amazing. Really excellent. I missed this type of guitar play since many years back and vocalist is so true . Great respect

metal for the metalhead who likes every single metal band ever.

Nice Clandestine sound

I remember seeing them open with Necrot and Cannibal Corpse 🤘 not really even hearing of them before that but ever since that show I've always been into them. Hail GateCreeper🤙🤘

Seeing these guys on Saturday with Amon Amarth! Hell yeah!

Between power trip and gatecreeper the mustache power is evident....it may even be a super power!

Paradise lost mixed with septic flesh. Death riffs with slayer off tones. Brilliant.

New album is gonna fkn bunkers🤘🔥

This is actually really really good . 👌🏼

I struggle with the vocals, but god damn that’s some awesome music. Got that dirty sound and groove that just gets the endorphins flowing.

mean! I'm digging the Bolt Thrower vibe.

The magic of True Death Metal

Damn, this rips. Just straight up death metal

3:12 it turned into an Amon amarth song lol

Yes, old school. 👏🤘☠️🍺🍺🍺🍺🇸🇰🇭🇺

Sounds very creative and original.

Dude fuck yeah. Remember this so well.

Obligatory Relapse Records hat on the amp stack

This is fucking great. I love the old school death blast. Fucking smashes my face in. I'm hooked. Can't wait for the album.

Reminds of Grave. Excellent.

Praises for keeping Death Metal alive as it should be \m/

Count me in as a new fan this is very impressive 💯

This video is far too light and positive for the kind of music they play. I fucking love them by the way! This voice is just one of the most intense and brutal i ever heard in this genre.

Yeah this is pure fucking oldschool death metal i love IT 😈

That end riff really gets the head banging

A GOOD ONE.❤❤

Saw them open for Dying Fetus. Super cool guys. Great music.

Just when I didn’t think this band could get any better they go an prove me wrong,I’m super fuckin stoked for this album

When I listen to GATECREEPER , my neighbours also listen to GATECREEPER

34, ankle size of softball can't walk, skateboard broken, stranded at Venice, from the east coast, homeless, out of cigs... Looks like this is the end
