As we get even closer to the release of ‘Sanguivore’, Creeper are showing their darker, synth-led side with ‘Black Heaven’.
Much like previous singles, ‘Cry To Heaven’ and ‘Teenage Sacrifice’, ‘Black Heaven’ is executed with an 80’s goth influence, embracing the decade’s early darkwave sound. Highlighted by the vocal interplay between the baritone croon of William Von Ghould (aka Will Gould) and Hannah Hermione’s alluring vocal harmonies, the duo represent the characters of Spook and Mercy in ‘Sanguivore’s concept narrative.
“This song allows us to show a new side to the band and sees us experimenting with electronic elements properly for the first time,” explained Von Ghould. “Taking influence from Depeche Mode and New Order, we try to push the boundaries of our sound out further than they’ve been before.”
‘Sanguivore’ is released on Friday, October 13th via Spinefarm Records. You can pre-order/pre-save the album here.

‘Black Heaven’ Lyrics
Death for pleasure, live forever, give yourself to me
Bound together, hands are tethered
We exist in oceans inbetween
Through the window dreams will depart
And break your stained glass heart
Die, die for me, you said you would, you promised me
Let’s take a life, let’s agree to make our home
In black heaven
A head to sever in winter weather, give yourself to me
Apply the pressure, consume the flesh
And fire-walk across all time with me
You love a spectre, a handsome mentor, who’s barely there at all
Die, die for me, you said you would, you promised me
Let’s take a life, let’s agree to make our home
In black heaven
All hail the original sinner
Black heaven, black heaven
Hail Mary and the Holy Ghost
Black heaven, black heaven
God’s kingdom will come crashing down
Black heaven, black heaven
All embrace annihilation
Black heaven, black heaven
(Eyes wide shut and chained up to the dark
Un-take my life, unbreak my stained glass heart…)
All hail the original sinner
Black heaven, black heaven
Hail Mary and the Holy Ghost
Black heaven, black heaven
God’s kingdom will come crashing down
Black heaven, black heaven
All embrace annihilation
Black heaven, black heaven
(Eyes wide shut and chained up to the dark
Un-take my life, unbreak my stained glass heart)
(Eyes wide shut and chained up to the dark
Un-take my life, unbreak my stained glass heart…)
