Arizona death metal specialists make their triumphant return with their first new track since 2021’s An Unexpected Reality. 'Caught in the Treads' is heavily rooted in the high-powered energy that fuels the contagious atmosphere that they have encountered in their recent global live endeavors. The single, produced and mixed by Kurt Ballou of CONVERGE fame, features infectious guitar melodies and drum passages that audiences will cling to with their refined attitude as the purveyors of the new wave of American death metal.
Chase H. Mason states, "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." Expanding on the music video he mentions, "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."

ABOUT GATECREEPER
Formed in 2013, GATECREEPER have spent the last decade steadily climbing the death metal ladder. Their self-titled 2014 EP established instant credibility as purveyors of the old-school form. The band signed with Relapse, releasing their full-length debut Sonoran Depravation in 2016. At once an homage to their desert origins and a statement of death metal intent, the record landed them a 2017 tour with CANNIBAL CORPSE and POWER TRIP.
In 2019, GATECREEPER unveiled Deserted, their ripping foray into self-described “stadium death metal.” It landed at number three on Decibel magazine’s revered year-end top 40 list. When the pandemic subsided, GATECREEPER snagged a slot on the 2022 Decibel magazine tour alongside OBITUARY and MUNICIPAL WASTE. These days, GATECREEPER are headliners in their own right, touring globally under their own banner.
