English gothic/horror punk outfit Creeper were forced to reschedule their upcoming December live performances for April 2021. The ongoing global pandemic had particular impact for the band who had to reschedule the planned release of their second album Sex, Death & The Infinite Void from May to July and then re-book all promotional UK tour dates for March 2021.
In an attempt to cheer up fans and make the best of a difficult year, Creeper promised to play their early EPs this December at few hometown shows in Southampton. Due to the ongoing restrictions, the band had to cancel once again and reschedule for next year, adding additional date for Southampton, and concerts in Leeds and Kingston. The official statement bellow confirmed “original tickets will be valid & the individual stores you purchased tickets from will be in touch with further details“.

Creeper’s highly anticipated second album received predominantly positive reaction from fans and critics, buidling up on the momentum from their debut Eternity, In Your Arms from 2017. Despite the delay in release, the follow-up Sex, Death & The Infinite Void came out through Roadrunner Records to achieve commercial access, climbing up to number 5 in the UK Albums Chart and reaching the top spot in the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart. Xandy Barry from the production team Wax Ltd. is creddited for the production, mastering, mixing, engineering and arrangement of the album.
Shortly after the premiere of the new record, the band shared the surprised announcement that their drummer and founding member Dan Bratton had left the band without further explanation. Creeper’s current line-up consists of: Will Gould (vocals), Ian Miles (lead guitars, keyboards, backing vocals), Sean Scott (bass), Oliver Burdett (rhythm guitar), Hanna Greenwood (keyboard, violin), with no official drummer confirmed yet. You can all hang out with Greenwood tomorrow at 6pm GMT on the band’s official Instagram channel, and can also check her thematic ‘Sounds From The Void‘ playlist from the link below.
