Gatecreeper's third full-length sees the Arizona death metal specialists-vocalist Chase H. Mason, guitarists Eric Wagner and Israel Garza, drummer Metal Matt Arrebollo and bassist Alex Brown-carving out their own path. The band's first album for Nuclear Blast is more concise, melodic, and memorable than anything they've done in the past. \"We refined the song structures,\" Mason says. \"We're getting better at what we do.\" Formed in 2013, Gatecreeper have spent the last decade steadily climbing the death metal ladder. Their self-titled 2014 EP established instant credibility as purveyors of the old-school form. The band signed with Relapse, releasing their full-length debut Sonoran Depravation in 2016. At once an homage to their desert origins and a statement of death metal intent, the record landed them a 2017 tour with Cannibal Corpse and Power Trip. In 2019, Gatecreeper unveiled Deserted, their ripping foray into self-described \"stadium death metal.\" It landed at number three on Decibel magazine's revered year-end top 40 list. When the pandemic subsided, Gatecreeper snagged a slot on the 2022 Decibel magazine tour alongside Obituary and Municipal Waste. These days, Gatecreeper are headliners in their own right, touring globally under their own banner. Think of Dark Superstition as Gatecreeper's answer to Entombed's Wolverine Blues or Dismember's Massive Killing Capacity, pivotal albums on which the songs got tighter and more rock influenced. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDead Star\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOblivion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Black Curtain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMasterpiece of Chaos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperstitious Vision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Chilling Aura\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaught in the Treads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlesh Habit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMistaken for Dead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTears Fall from the Sky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Waiting Room Records","offers":[{"title":"Cassette","offer_id":41878634397811,"sku":"","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":42015416811635,"sku":"","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Purple LP","offer_id":42015417630835,"sku":"","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Clear with Black \/ Purple Splatter LP","offer_id":42337882505331,"sku":"","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0082\/4315\/0908\/files\/a1218216368_10.jpg?v=1717110268","url":"https:\/\/waitingroomrecords.com\/products\/gatecreeper-dark-superstition","provider":"Waiting Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
