During a mini-documentary that depicted how Gatecreeper created its new album Dark Superstition, guitarist Eric Wagner explained that production was more of a team effort than any other album the Phoenix metal outfit has released.

New kid Alex Brown contributes not only his regular bass, but also guitar licks and a few drum parts, while drummer Matt Arrebollo got to pitch in with guitar compositions and song ideas in general.

โ€œWe started getting together regularly to practice and workshop these songs. Just something in the past we hadnโ€™t always had a lot of time to do,โ€ he said in the mini-doc.

Opening night of Gatecreeperโ€™s next run of shows will be its first show in town since a 2022 stop at the since-shuttered Ybor City Orpheum, with Frozen Soul and Worm in tow.

Tickets to see Gatecreeper play Tampa Orpheum on Tuesday, Sept. 17 are still available and start at $49.
