Background

Creeper announced a sequel to their 2023 album Sanguivore at the end of a one-off show at Koko in London on 31 May 2025. [3] A week later, "Headstones" was released as the first single and music video from the album. [4] "Blood Magick (It's a Ritual)" followed two months later. [5]

Composition

Sanguivore II: Mistress of Death is a sequel to Sanguivore, released in 2023. According to Creeper frontman Will Gould, the album's narrative "follows a vampire rock band on a tour soaked in violence and excess"; speaking to Kerrang! at the time of the album's announcement, he explained that "This record takes place in the 1980s. It's about a vampire rock band on tour, and there's someone coming to get them. That's who the Mistress Of Death is." [4] Stylistically, Gould noted that the band wanted to make the album "sleazier and sexier" than its predecessor, with inspirations including the music of Jim Steinman and Judas Priest. [5]
