HM-2 death metal beasts Gatecreeper (mem. Spirit Adrift) are prepping their new album Sonoran Depravation for an October 7 release on Relapse. They’ve recently shared the new track “Craving Flesh,” and it’s a total monster. Scratching a similar Entombed-loving itch as contemporaries Black Breath, but doing it a bit faster and blastier, this song hits all the beats one could want from this. It races through d-beat, blast-beats, and closing slow crush with an agility and skillful riff-mongering that often eludes bands of this ilk. Stream that below.

Gatecreeper have some tour dates coming up, though they are mostly restricted to the south and west coast, opening up for that Skeletonwitch/Oathbreaker/Iron Reagan tour. All of those dates are listed, along with a stream of “Craving Flesh,” below.
