Album Reviews

Creeper

Sanguivore

Follow us on Social Media

Creeper – sanguivore – album review

The evolution of Creeper from their early EP releases to now is quite astonishing. Each release has seen the band grow exponentially and now on their third full studio album, ā€˜Sanguivoreā€™, we see the band ascend to a higher plane of creative mastery. What other band out there would dream of opening an album with a grandiose nine minute saga!

Yes, this album is a work of sheer majesty and magnificence. ā€˜Cry To Heavenā€™ follows the epic ā€˜Further Than Foreverā€™ and sees the band fully embrace the synth-laden, 80ā€™s-esque, theatrical sound that emerged over the course of ā€˜Sex, Death & the Infinite Voidā€™ and the ā€˜American Noirā€™ EP.

WATCH ‘CRY TO HEAVEN’ ON YOUTUBE
Creeper – ‘Cry To Heaven’

Find Full Pelt Music on YouTube!

The influences on this album though stretch far and wide, with the scope of its sonic exploration only matched by its ambition. As the record progresses the listener is taken on a musical and mythical journey of vampires, horror and intrigue.

The word masterpiece is overused these days, but the urge to use it for ā€˜Sanguivoreā€™ is just too irresistible. The problem that Creeper have produced is that with every release you think that theyā€™ve peaked and couldnā€™t possibly top what theyā€™ve createdā€¦ and then they go ahead and do just that!

It should probably be illegal to have this much imagination and ingenuity because itā€™s simply not fair on the competition. The reality is though at this point, certainly in their chosen sphere, there is no competition and Creeper are in a league of their own.

Itā€™s easy to wax lyrical here about this album, because itā€™s such a well rounded record. There are fantastic singles, or bangers as the kids would say, yet there is also such depth present as well. Pre-release singles such as ā€˜Teenage Sacrificeā€™ and ā€˜Black Heavenā€™, certainly gave a good insight into what to expect, but listeners really need to dig deep and immerse themselves into ā€˜Sanguivoreā€™ to fully comprehend its brilliance!

Creeper share new single ‘Teenage Sacrifice’

Creeper – ‘Teenage Sacrifice’

Welcome everyone to another edition of our weekly music News Report!

We start this week with the best new releases from the past week and up first is the latest single from Creeper.

This week saw the band share, ‘Teenage Sacrifice’, which you can check out above. The track comes ahead of the release of new album, ‘Sanguivore’, out on Friday 13th October.

Singer William ‘Von Ghould’ says: ā€œThe song introduces Mercy, the protagonist of the Sanguivore narrative. Sheā€™s deceptively innocent yet savagely violent, and her ability to make people fall under her spell is just one indication that Mercy is not all that she seems.ā€

Pre-order your copy here.

Lonely The Brave return with ‘The Lens’

Lonely The Brave – ‘The Lens’

Next up is the return of Lonely The Brave, the band this week sharing their brand new single, ‘The Lens’, which you can check out above.

The track will feature on newly announced upcoming album, ‘What We Do To Feel’, which will arrive on November 10th.

Guitarist Mark Trotter comments: “You can plan it out as much as you want, but you’re just along for the ride. That’s the most exciting part, seeing what it decided to be. With this album, we’re certainly more mature as people and as a band. That makes sense with everything that has happened since our last one.”

Singer Jack Bennett continues about the single, saying it “is a track about the way we value each other. It’s different for everyone and we each have a unique perspective towards the world.”

The Struts announce new album ‘Pretty Vicious’

The Struts – ‘Too Good At Raising Hell’

The band also shared a live visualiser for their recent track, ‘Too Good At Raising Hell’, which you can check out above.

ā€œThis record showcases each individual member’s strengths,ā€ vocalist Luke Spiller says of their impending album. “Itā€™s some of my favorite music, hands down, weā€™ve ever conjured up. Itā€™s the record everyoneā€™s been waiting for.ā€

Daughtry debut ‘Artificial’

Daughtry – ‘Artificial’

This week also saw Daughtry debut their new single, ‘Artificial’, which you can check out above.

“‘Artificial’ is about the potential nightmare that AI could become and the idea that everything and everyone could eventually be replaced, essentially to perfection, and rendered obsolete,” Chris Daughtry explains. “However, the heart and soul of humanity and the ability to feel love, sadness, and compassion can never be replaced. While there are plenty of applications where AI can improve our lives and assist in many areas of creativity, I feel it’s imperative that we find a way to protect our musicians, actors, writers, and all creative outlets from being destroyed.”

Teenage Fanclub unveil ‘Back To The Light’

Teenage Fanclub – ‘Back To The Light’

Teenage Fanclub continue to gear up for the release of new album, ‘Nothing Lasts Forever’ on September 22nd.

This week saw the band unveil their latest pre-release single, ‘Back To The Light’, which you can check out above.

The track was written by Norman Blake who says: 

ā€œI liked the idea of using being in a band as a metaphor for a personal relationship. They are not entirely dissimilar experiences. Like a few others on the album, this song has saxophone on it. The first time weā€™ve had that since Songs From Northern Britain. Stephen Black (Sweet Baboo) played those parts; we really like the richness it brings to the song. Steve will be with us when we head out on tour in October in Europe.ā€

The Pale White debut ‘Validate Me’

The Pale White – ‘Validate Me’

The Pale White have debuted new single, ‘Validate Me’, which you can check out above.

The track will feature on new EP, ‘A New Breed’, which is will released on October 20th.

“Ever felt like the world is against you? It probably is… Look around! Weā€™re surrounded by social pressures of what is perceived as ā€˜normalā€™ā€ say The Pale White.

“ā€Validate Meā€ explores the mental tug of war between following your true purpose, and conforming to what society thinks you should be. It was born during the pandemic when we all lost our social identity and this heightened self-sabotaging paranoia was just as contagious.ā€

Gen and the Degenerates share ‘BIG HIT SINGLE’

Gen and the Degenerates – ‘BIG HIT SINGLE’

Finally for this section of our News Report we have a big hit single from Gen and the Degenerates who have revealed their latest single, ‘BIG HIT SINGLE’, which you can check out above!

Speaking on their new single, vocalist Genevieve Glynn-Reeves comments:

ā€œIf you want the highbrow answer, then BIG HIT SINGLE is about the experience of creating art under late capitalism. If you want the lowbrow ā€“and slightly more honestā€“ answer, then BIG HIT SINGLE is me trying to wind up our label.ā€

ā€œTheyā€™d made quite a reasonable requestā€¦ā€˜Please can you write more songs like the song that did well and stop experimenting with every genre under the sun in a completely chaotic and hedonistic manner?ā€™ Unfortunately, I have issues with authority…My parents often regale me with the tale of my Year 4 parentā€™s evening, in which my teacher described me as ā€˜too wild, in the bohemian sense.ā€™

ā€œIf Mrs Baker couldnā€™t get me to behave, then what chance did Marshall Records have? Luckily, they have a good sense of humour over at Marshall.ā€

Conjurer join United By Music Tour

Kerrang have team up with the Music Venue Trust for Conjurer to join the ‘United By Music Tour’ next month!

Support will come from Unpeople.

Conjurerā€™s Brady Deeprose says: ā€œConjurer simply would not exist without the UKā€™s extensive network of Grassroots Music Venues. We cut our teeth playing everywhere from Merthyr Tydfil to Barrow-In-Furness for years, and we were lucky to be able to do so. The threat that GMVs are under is an utter travesty, and something that we are so thankful to MVT for getting involved in – without this network, everyone from fans to bands suffers. Throughout my childhood, I would go to The Roadmender in Northampton, The Vault in Rugby (RIP), The Flapper in Birmingham, and Corporation in Sheffield to both play shows and see my favourite bands – that thriving scene inspired me to pick up a guitar and start a band. If we donā€™t protect it, we lose the next generation of musicians. Itā€™s that simple.
 
“To come full circle, Kerrang! putting us forward for this tour is a real privilege, their support for not just us but the UK heavy scene in general, has been untouchable over the last few years. We hope that MVT continues to have success, and that the UK can continue to foster exceptional talent with a strong roster of grassroots venues to support it.ā€

Luke Morton, editor of Kerrang!, says ā€œThe UK heavy music scene is thriving right now, thanks in large part to the community and support of grassroots venues up and down the country. Iā€™m so excited and proud for Kerrang! to partner with the Music Venue Trust for this very metal incarnation of the United By Music Tour, featuring the mighty Conjurer ā€“ a band Iā€™ve seen cause absolute chaos in some of our best independent venues over the years. As fans of rock, metal and alternative music, it’s vital we all champion the homegrown, grassroots venues that are the lifeblood of our scene. Support your local venue and make sure you catch Conjurer tearing it to shreds!ā€

Mark Davyd, CEO and founder Music Venue Trust, says: ā€œIt’s great to be teaming up with Kerrang on The National Lottery’s United by Music Tour. The team at Kerrang! were so supportive to Grassroots Music Venues during the pandemic, and the heavy music scene is such an integral part of what makes live music in the UK so essential and vibrant.ā€

News Report

Vocalist Elin Allan comments –Ā “When we were writing ā€˜The Tideā€™, I donā€™t think I realised how much this song was a cry for help. Itā€™s such an energetic, in your face song and I was so angry at this point in my life that I honed in on a very cutthroat approach to life. I had just gone through a huge, very tough break up and was having one of the lowest points in my life and with time, now itā€™s finally released, I think I have accepted that anger and turned it into power.

As always we conclude our News Report with the latest additions to our ‘Discover’ New Music Playlist!

News Report
Little Thief – ‘Geronimo’

Bristol rock outfit Little Thief share their latest single ‘Geronimo’.

Vocalist and lyricist Charlie Fitzgerald states: ā€œPeople do incredible things when up against it and true colours often show when everything falls apart. For me, it signifies sticking together through good times and bad. 

We spent a few days in the basement of our place on Albany road in Bristol working together on a bunch of new tracks and Geronimo came from that batch. It was one of the first tunes where the music came first and the lyrics followed. I really enjoyed writing the words for this as they are a bit cheesy, fun and simple with a very repetitive nature. We had the demo banging around for ages and really enjoyed playing it live.ā€

Swear Blind – ‘Still’

Alt-Rock Nottingham natives Swear Blind share new single ‘Still’.

Drew Lawson says: ā€œa certain global event gave us the time to finish a project weā€™ve been working on for many years and to continue our writing. It gave us a new focus in doing the things that we love doing, plus it gave us a good reason to hang out! Weā€™ve been mates for years so that wasnā€™t an opportunity we wanted to miss.ā€

News Report
Nevrlands – ‘Chemicals’

NYC-based trio Nevrlands share a second track ā€œChemicals‘ from their forthcoming debut album, ‘Timeless’.

“‘Chemicalsā€™ is about catching yourself in the heat of the moment,ā€ shares Neverlands collectively. ā€œAbout painting a portrait of passion and finding that distinction between love and lust in real-time. Thereā€™s a very fine line that can sometimes be blurry, or sometimes itā€™s crystal clear. Is this real? Or is it just another fugazi? ā€˜Chemicalsā€™ is all about questioning whether or not that perfect chemical connection will last once the moment ends.ā€

The band on the single:ā€œā€™X my <3 (hope to die)ā€™ was the catalyst for Negative Energy. After months of writers block and feeling like giving up, this song opened the floodgates for inspiration and creativity. Inspired by the victims of religious extremists, cults or abuse of power, this song is about how one person shouldnā€™t be able to dictate other peopleā€™s lives based on their own personal opinions.ā€ 

Regarding the album,. the band says, ā€œWe are so proud to present to you our second album. Since our first release, we have each endured traumatic experiences, surrounded by death, betrayal, pain and grief.  In order to find any strength, we first had to accept that we werenā€™t okay, then take our trauma and face it head on, sharing our vulnerability, fears and weaknesses.  Instead of forcing ourselves to try and be positive we put all our negative energy into the album in order to begin our own repair and to overcome.ā€

ARCHIVES – ‘Matriarch’

Northern Irish metal outfit ARCHIVES haveshared a monolithic new single titled ‘Matriarch’.

ā€œMatriarch is a song about how human beings process loss & grief in many different forms. Ā In this case hiding away from the reality of losing someone even if it means you may never get to properly say goodbye in order to save your last memory of a loved one being a positive one & not bed ridden. Grief is difficult. The inevitability of someoneā€™s life decaying is something you can only hide away from briefly eventually you have to face the music.ā€ ā€“ Vocalist, Adam Holland

Strange Company – ‘Overrated’

Welsh three-piece rock outfit Strange Company have shared their brand new single ā€˜Overratedā€™.

“Overrated is all about perspective. If someone says “stay in your lane” or “no you can’t”, I’m instantly thinking “yes I can, just watch me” and dying to prove them wrong. But when these phrases are coming from my own thoughts, when the self-doubt creeps in, it really takes over and I find myself scared of trying for fear of getting burned. Realising this, seeing these patterns and learning how to deal with them to push beyond the fog of worry changed the game for me. So this song is really both of these rolled into one – it’s a middle-finger to the naysayers and at the same time it’s an awareness, acceptance and step forward through our own fears and doubts.” – Matt Davies

DEADSET – ‘The Art of Pointscoring’

DEADSET have released their highly charged, emotive debut single ‘The Art of Pointscoring’.

ā€œThe song is an earnest outlook on the toxic environment that can be birthed when youā€™re struggling to coordinate mental health issues,ā€ says Sam Mellors from the band. ā€œThat apathy you experience in which you feel empathy but struggle to act upon it. Itā€™s an ugly subject but writing about it in a vulnerable and genuine way helps to process and accept your own falsities and mistakes; and the accepting of a situation you canā€™t change when someone else is feeling the same, accepting both parties can make mistakes. It helps me learn vulnerability and forgive others whilst also learning how to change bad behaviour patterns myself.ā€
