The double update from William Von Ghould and the crew arrived ahead of their intimate 12 Days Of Night headline run, which kicks off next Friday.
Creeper’s hilarious vampire Darcia took to social media to announce: “After a few years of sessioning for the band, Creeper have asked Lawrie Pattison to join officially and he has foolishly said yes and agreed. Please reply with your congratulations and condolences below.”
Meanwhile, William Von Ghould said this about the ‘Lovers Led Astray’ video: “We made the video for Lovers Led Astray with one of our favourite visual artists, Harry Steel. The video explores the song’s themes while experimenting with light and shadow. It is an unholy communion of light and dark which threads together the themes of the existing Sanguivore universe while presenting something new and provocative simultaneously.”
Check out the video below.

Creeper is an English rock band from Southampton. Formed in 2014, the group consisted of vocalist Will Gould, guitarists Ian Miles and Sina Nemati, bassist Sean Scott, and drummer Dan Bratton. The band independently released their self-titled debut EP in 2014 before signing with Roadrunner Records and issuing a follow-up, The Callous Heart, the following year. At the end of 2015, Nemati was replaced by Oliver Burdett, and touring keyboardist/second vocalist Hannah Greenwood became an official band member. A third EP, The Stranger, was released in 2016 and reached the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart top ten.
The group’s full-length debut album, Eternity, in Your Arms, reached number 18 on the UK Albums Chart in 2017. After an extensive touring cycle, Creeper took a year-long break and returned in 2020 with their second album, Sex, Death & the Infinite Void, which reached number 5 in the UK. Bratton and Burdett left shortly after that, and the group released American Noir in 2021. Jake Fogarty took over from Bratton around the time of the EP’s release. After completing the touring cycle for Sex, Death & the Infinite Void and American Noir, Creeper signed with Spinefarm Records in 2022 for their third album, 2023’s

It was during that time of his life, when he was working on the bands new album “Sex, Death and the Infinite Void”, which dropped today (July 31) – whilst being hospitalised. During a Zoom call with Radio 1 Newsbeat, he opened up about Creeper’s “worst year of their lives.”

Miles isn’t alone while he’s talking about what happened, singer Will Gould is also with him. The band is based in Southampton, which is where it all happened. “I was told by this underground cult that my area was Southampton, so I was to go out and eradicate religion in my area. That was what happened that day – I was on a mission to help the cause”, the guitarist said.

When he’s being asked if he’s being uncomfortable with certain information being published, he just replies that he wouldn’t reveal stuff that he doesn’t want to be published. It’s quite the opposite, actually: “There’s a lot of misinformation out there about mental health and I feel like people should be educated.”

The 31-year-old was diagnosed with a bipolar disorder “a long time ago”, but it wasn’t until it was too late that he realised how bad it could be. “There was all sorts of stuff going on. Like I thought I could kill people by blinking at them. I thought religion and the police were collecting money and handing it up to the government and MI5 to buy nuclear weapons to end the world. And so I thought there was an underground cult that were looking to shut down religion – I was trying to fight the good fight.”

But even with Miles institutionalised there was no way for the band to stop working on the album. Will Gould revealed that he was “an anxious mess” but that they had to keep going. “At the time, basically the band was going to break up if if we stopped… we had to deliver.” And so they continued to work on it via FaceTime. “Ian’s wife brought a guitar into the hospital and I would FaceTime him from a piano and we would try and write like that.”

“I remember trying to find a chord for a song and, at the time, Ian was still really unwell and believing all these delusions, but it was really funny because he could still just turn all of that off for a second to help me work out what chord I needed.” Creeper’s new album is out today, if you want to check out how working from different rooms has worked out.

Southampton-based band Creeper have already made plans for some epic shows after all of this is over. Today (21.07) the band took to their social media accounts to announce that they’re going to play three special hometown shows in December.

The rockers will play The Joiners in Southampton three nights in a row. But what’s so special about these shows? On each day, they will play a different EP in full length! “we will be playing all 3 of our original EPs, 1 a night, beginning with our self-titled, followed by The Callous Heart & finally The Stranger plus new album tracks in association with @vinilorecstore”, they announced on Twitter. Tickets for the shows on December 3,4 and 5 will go on sale tomorrow, Wednesday, July 22 at 11am. You can buy the tickets here.

Creeper are about to release a new record: Their new album “Sex, Death & The Infinite Void” is coming out next week on July 31. In combination with the newly announced December shows, this might cheer fans up. Creeper fans recently found out that they had to wait a bit longer to see their band play, after the “Be My End”-hitmakers revealed that they are rescheduling their UK tour to February 2021.

Creeper are going to play six shows in Brighton, London, Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester and Leeds on their “God Can’t Save Us” tour. If you haven’t had the chance to grab tickets for the tour, the special shows in Southampton might make up for it. As mentioned in their tweet, the first night of the hometown shows will be dedicated to playing the self-titled EP from 2014, followed by “The Callous Heart”, which got released in 2015, and last but not least 2016s “The Stranger” on night 3.

Creeper is one of the bands that had to make a few changes in their touring schedule. The original tour dates were scheduled for this April before they were pushed back to later on in the year. But as Creeper announced on Wednesday, July 8, fans now have to wait a little longer.

The UK leg of their “God Can’t Save Us” tour will now take place in March 2021. But there is also some good news for the fans: Due to the new dates, the Southampton-based rockers were able to make a few venue changes – some of the rooms got upgraded to a higher capacity! Tickets will go on sale at 10am on Friday, July 10 via the Creeper website, with original tickets remaining valid for the new dates. Fans who can’t make it to the new dates can get a refund from the point of purchase.

The shows will be supported by opening acts Holding Absence and Wargasm, as well as by new added Static Dress. “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”, frontman Will Gould has said. “We’re going to do everything we can to make it worth the wait.”

Even though the “Be My End”-hitmakers have to wait another few months to hit the road, Gould couldn’t be more excited: “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.”
