From the anthemic rush of ‘Born Cold’ to the poignant ‘All My Friends’ and the glam-goth Americana that runs through ‘Be My End’, CREEPER have demonstrated their long-awaited second album ‘Sex, Death & The Infinite Void’ represents a huge leap in both ambition and narrative scale. The album is set to be released on July 31st via Roadrunner Records.
CREEPER’s first shows in support of the album come with the ‘God Can’t Save Us’ tour, which has been rescheduled to next March due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. Most of the dates have been upgraded to bigger venues after the original venues sold-out, most notably in London where the band will play their biggest headline show to date at the O2 Forum Kentish Town. The tour has been boosted by the addition of openers Static Dress, who join a line-up completed by WARGASM (UK) and Holding Absence.
Frontman Will Gould commented, “ I’m sure many of you are disappointed that the tour is being rescheduled and we are too, as we’re so eager to be able to play these new songs for you. We’re going to do everything we can to make it worth the wait. These shows will now be some of the biggest of our career to date and we promise to make them more spectacular than anything you’ve seen us do in the past. Thank you so much as always for understanding and supporting us. We love you and think about you all constantly.”

‘Sex, Death & The Infinite Void’ is a concept album which loosely mirrors Gould’s life. Boy moves to new city, goes off the rails, meets new girl, falls in love and the world as they know it ends. The band have reshaped the joy and the spirit of CREEPER through the lens of the colourful and sentimental Americana of Bruce Springsteen and Roy Orbison, with the theatrical glam of Marc Bolan and T-Rex.
The album is now available to pre-order here.
Formed in Southampton, CREEPER soon developed a die-hard following of fans. The CREEPER CULT quickly became enamoured with the band’s visionary hybrid of engaging narratives, striking theatricality and a sound simultaneously visceral, grandiose and adventurous. Their debut album ‘Eternity, In Your Arms’ shot straight into the Top 20, while early acclaim included Best British Newcomer at the Kerrang! Awards, Best New Band at the Metal Hammer Golden God Awards, and Best British Newcomer in the Rock Sound readers’ poll.
