CREEPER, SANGUIVORE

Love, life, death, and vampires. Is there anything more appropriate for a Friday the 13th in October? Leave it to Creeper to put it all together. More theatrical and over the top than either of their previous two studio albums, Sanguivore is a kind of Rocky Horror Picture Show meets Bat Out of Hell mashup on steroids. But make no mistake, this Southhampton band is not trying to be cheeky or cute. They are a deadly serious about their intentionality and craft. They fully own their space and what they do and there is simply not another band doing it better today.

Sanguivore is just about the most fun that I have experienced listening to an album this year. Bravo to Creeper for their album and music and for ringing in Halloween a few weeks earlier this year.
