Sanguivore II: Mistress of Death is the fourth studio album by English rock band Creeper. A narrative and thematic sequel to the band's 2023 album Sanguivore, it was produced by Tom Dalgety and is due to be released on 31 October 2025 by Spinefarm Records.
Background
Creeper announced a sequel to their 2023 album Sanguivore at the end of a one-off show at Koko in London on 31 May 2025.[1] A week later, "Headstones" was released as the first single and music video from the album.[2] "Blood Magick (It's a Ritual)" followed two months later.[3]
Composition
Sanguivore II: Mistress of Death is a sequel to Sanguivore, released in 2023. According to Creeper frontman Will Gould, the album's narrative "follows a vampire rock band on a tour soaked in violence and excess"; speaking to Kerrang! at the time of the album's announcement, he explained that "This record takes place in the 1980s. It's about a vampire rock band on tour, and there's someone coming to get them. That's who the Mistress Of Death is."[2] Stylistically, Gould noted that the band wanted to make the album "sleazier and sexier" than its predecessor, with inspirations including the music of Jim Steinman and Judas Priest.[3]
