Brings to mind the bands like Entombed/Dismember and even the mighty Bolt thrower in places.. Really impressive.

[@martinrodriguez2466]

Malevolent Creation also, some récords.

[@JackieNihil]

I'm Swedish and I always loved the Stockholm death metal sound the best. Finally the Americans have brought it back to us.

[@thychaos]

the Americans brought it back?...it never went away, and there are plenty of bands in Europe doing it, what are you talking about.

[@eSchlumpberger]

what Jackie is saying is that they are tired of the cookie cutter sound out of sweeden and are happy that old school brutal shit like this is still being made. very common here in america just not as popular as some genre. so its harder to find in other countries that have tried to my some kind of hybrid shit. personally i like black tongue more than this but this is still good tunes. these guys remind me of a slightly different version of bolt thrower. i miss those guys.

[@thychaos]

hes tired of the cookie cutter sound so hes glad that bands like this are doing the same thing the old school swedeath bands were doing (which makes them cookie cutter)? makes a lot of sense.

[@eSchlumpberger]

mm i stand corrected. it is ok to be wrong. ty.

[@ericwilliams7374]

Good grief guys!!! Just enjoy the music and don't be dicks to one another!!!

Discussing their originality is tired at this point but im just thankful theyre making death metal sound like death metal at least.

[@fathergrime1949]

[@iommic7981]

the hardcore influence makes this record refreshing, I would say. those breakdown riffs are nuts dude

[@thegame2531]

people love complaining about it but really who doesnt want more dismember?

[@danialknott286]

all killer, no filler.

[@Eyji1]

Never heard anything from Gatecreeper before. I'm digging it! Thanks for the upload.

[@soullessSiIence]

They're a new band, of course you hadn't heard them.

[@joeyoksh]

They had a demo out before this, but yes, this is their first LP

[@Sgath393]

Gatekeeper, Cruciamentum and Chthe'ilist are providing great old school influenced yet modern death metal with riffs and loads of feeling

[@jacobdacosta7685]

I'd say "new" rather than "modern." When I hear "modern" I think of crap like Necrophagist, Soilwork, Origin, Decapitated, etc.

[@N0RT0X]

Best music for powerlifting. Thanks!

[@phatnana2379]

2020 and still bumping this album regularly!! When it comes to my death metal, black metal, hardcore, blackened hardcore or whatever other sub genres there are, I NEED bands to be ALL BALLS, and GateCreeper is one of those rare bands like Dragged Into Sunlight, Nails, and Pig Destroyer (first 2 full lengths especially) that take "ALL BALLS" to a new level!! Respect due!

exactly, metal bands need to be STANDING ON IT, not dragging their fashion getup behind the beat. just found this record, pretty cool. pro tip, youtube people: do not put "metal 2021" into the search bar, it goes haywire...

[@DireAxis]

My particular flavor of DM, good amounts of melody and not just grinding along. There is form and function, not just function.

Does somebody know if the guys in Gatecreeper played in Skinfather? The riff writing style is very similar (although in general is very similar to all the Stockholm bands from the 90´s)

[@soullessSiIence]

Death metal is copy/paste music. Why would you even ask. In art, originality is non existent. You just alter the order of the factors, but the pieces are the same (only 13 sounds in occidental music! Just think about that)

America invented death metal

[@NevermoreNevermore...]

good joke

[@Threedog43]

I mean, not really, mantas and possessed had demos out in 1984 my dude, Nihilist wasn't around till 1987. If you want to talk full lengths, Seven Churches was 1985 and Scream Bloody Gore came out 1987, Left Hand Path wasn't out until 1990.

[@NevermoreNevermore...]

Ok, you talk about bands that are known but there were bands in Europe in the early 80's like Grinder, Sauron (poland) , Death's Scythe (germany) and Morass (austria) people never heard of because they never recorded their music, not a single demo but still those bands played death metal before it was even defined as death metal

[@riffaholic3034]
