Sanguivore Ii: Mistress Of Death - Purple Marble

It's all larger-than-life, darker-than-death, and the best album Creeper have ever recorded. "It seems that the world's getting excessively morbid by the moment out there," says Will Ghould, a man with a boyishly infectious enthusiasm for everything that he does, "I think we need fantasy and fun more than we ever have."?However, if you strip back the layers, you'll find that Creeper's ambitious narratives are rooted in an authentic place, touching on subjects such as friendship, mental health and devastating love. A vital element was the input of producer Tom Dalgety (Ghost, Royal Blood, The Cult) who embraced and encouraged the band's "What would Jim Steinman do?" ethos during sessions at his studio, a converted church - a home-from-home for a record with some blissfully blasphemous edges.
