We’ve been anxiously awaiting Gatecreeper‘s new Kurt Ballou-produced album that band leader Chase Mason says has “[some] songs that sound exactly what people might expect, but the thing that excites us most is showcasing a new side of our band that nobody is expecting,” and though they still haven’t revealed the title or release date, they did just share new single “Caught in the Treads.”
Chase says, “Lyrically the song is about a supernaturally charged fleet of tanks that have been possessed by the souls of fallen soldiers. It’s about revenge and crushing your enemies. As soon as we finished recording, we started sneaking this song into our live set. We brought along our own VHS camera and had our friends film the shows where they could.” That footage was compiled for the song’s music video, and you can check that out below.
Gatecreeper and Creeping Death are both supporting In Flames‘ upcoming US tour, and Chase also recently said that In Flames are “a huge influence on our newer material.” You can definitely hear some melodeath vibes coming through on this new song.
The tour hits NYC on May 3 at Warsaw. All dates below.
