Gatecreeper are an Arizona death metal band formed in 2013, known for blending old-school grit with modern heaviness.
Featuring Chase H. Mason (vocals), Eric Wagner and Israel Garza (guitars), Metal Matt Arrebollo (drums), and Alex Brown (bass), the group has evolved from underground favorites into global headliners.
Their third album, Dark Superstition (Nuclear Blast), marks a sharper, more melodic turn—drawing inspiration from mid-’90s death ’n’ roll classics by Entombed and Dismember while incorporating gothic and melodic elements. Produced and mixed by Kurt Ballou at God City Studios, the record explores themes of the supernatural, fate, and Arizona’s eerie Superstition Mountains.
With refined songwriting and a sound that bridges brutality and atmosphere, Gatecreeper cement their status as one of modern death metal’s most vital forces.
