As for the brand new track 'The Black Curtain', this fresh single sees Gatecreeper expand out their sound like never before. Dialing the pace and aggression back, the new cut is instead full of darkly melodic and mournful passages, highlighting the band's love of Nordic extreme metal. While the aforementioned 'Caught In The Treads' is a tailor-built mosh-destroyer, 'The Black Curtain' shows Gatecreeper at their most reflective.With Gatecreeperhitting Australian shores in less than a month, the new song and album deets could not come at a better time for Aussie DM fans, with 'The Black Curtain' and 'Caught In The Treads' giving a preview of potentially 2024's best extreme metal release with Dark Superstition.Words by Andrew Kapper
