oh shit, old school elitists are complaining that a modern death metal band made an album that is too groovy & melodic **rubbing my hands together** reviewers are calling it "moody." hell, the only way you could make me want to listen to it more is if you told me they got "too technical", which i doubt, but the Last of Lucy & Cognitive just dropped records too
Crazy how Nuclear Blast can put out albums as great as this and the new Pallbearer but then simultaneously announce they’re signing Marilyn Manson. It’s like they wanted to occupy both spaces on the W and L axis.
@@themetalmeltdownofficial maybe they were the only label that would do it? I don't think he fits their roster at all but it might be one of those things where it's either this or nothing for him. Feel how you want to about that, my feelings on him are much more complicated these days.
I guess until we see the total fall out of the allegations it's difficult to make a full decision. I'm sure NB are aware of the impact of their reputation and have looked into it themselves
Looking forward to listen to it! I’ve been sleeping on this band way too long… With that said - this Friday was crammed with great music which I’d be glad to hear your opinion on: Bat - Under the Crooked Claw Hemotoxin - When Time Becomes Loss The Last of Lucy - Godform Strychnos - Armageddon Patronage
The old fans probably arent going to like it at first, but give it a few spins and its undeniable that its an evolved gatecreeper and everything is still there that we loved but its got new shit that fits abd makes their sound even bigger...imo.
Welp it’s done Thrashin Jackson is officially your Cal Chuchesta. I really like the addition of melody here. The Swedish death metal vibes on this thing are real. I get quite a bit of Dismember, Grave, early Inflames, Early At the Gates and early Katatonia vibes with this album. I think this a big improvement over their last couple albums and no heaviness is compromised easy 4/5 for me. Easily my favorite thing they have made.
Instrumentally it is fantastic, I love some of the leads, riffs, and hooks. But yeah, the vocals are okay at best, but they don't obnoxiously take away from the album as a whole and it still really works for me. Yes, Thrashin Jackson is back, all is right with the world!
Eu amei o album e achei uma direção muita justa para a banda em si! Fora que os riffs estão insanos🔥 mas eu acho que Dark Days tem um otimo início pro album com aquele primeiro riff🔥 e os vocais do Chase estão perfeitos pra mim Mas otima review meu amigo❤ salv salv do Brasil🇧🇷❤️
I really like Gatecreeper, but i'm a bit disappointed from this album. Nothing against a more Melo Deat approach, but most of the melodys feel so uninspired. 3/5
Funny enough, I was against the Melo-Death approach but was fairly surprised by the melodies. Probably cause I'm a slam & brutal death fan, my ears are not prepared for that kinda stuff.
I sorta disagree, the vocals are great but I do feel like they could’ve been more cavernous and deeper… the album never really felt boring as I do love what they’re going for and the production’s good too. The more slower and Insomnium-esque parts are a bit rough though, they did well with The Black Curtain but the other one is eh… I had a blast listening to this even if its as simple and this is my first time listening to Gatecreeper and I think this is good, I’m going to have to check out their other albums and ep’s though and hell some of the bands you have shouted out in your videos do intrigue me and will check them out soon.
LMAO Thrashin' Jaxon is a permanent character, let's go
Hell yes! 😂

new Cognitive eh? That should be cool

Signing Marilyn is wild, ive lost so much respect for Nuclear Blast.

"MOM! THE METAL MELTDOWN POSTED!"
Perhaps one of the best metal albums of this year. The wee girl on Banger TV got very excited about it.
One of the Best metal releases in this year for sure. No question about it. 🤘
Fucking love this album!!! Definitely going in my top 10 for this year!!!
Heard APOGEAN, BENIGHTED, COGNIZANCE, UPON STONE and VOLCANDRA yet?
Amazing album and review. I love this channel, especially the discography reviews 🎉❤ this album was sooo catchy
I liked this album, I give it a 7/10 or 8/10
Great review
So, 7.5?
@@jrottendevil yeah, that’ll work
This album was a killer!! 🤘🏻
I like it, 8/10 for me. Looking forward to a Pallbearer review, and good to see thrashin' Jackson brother!
Great review Worth checking out 🤘🤘
Looking forward to listen to it! I’ve been sleeping on this band way too long…
With that said - this Friday was crammed with great music which I’d be glad to hear your opinion on:
Bat - Under the Crooked Claw
Hemotoxin - When Time Becomes Loss
The Last of Lucy - Godform
Strychnos - Armageddon Patronage
I agree! There were so many influences and every song was unique. Very good
Gave it like 3 spins in a row and really enjoyed it. Great record. Great review
Tzompantli on the radar? ❤ it goes hard
It’s a banger! Start to finish 💥🤘🌵
The old fans probably arent going to like it at first, but give it a few spins and its undeniable that its an evolved gatecreeper and everything is still there that we loved but its got new shit that fits abd makes their sound even bigger...imo.
Loved this album!
An Unexpected Reality is one of my favorite EPs ever and they’re my favorite modern death metal band
This is probably going to be one of the more polarizing DM albums in recent memory. Personally I thought it was pretty fun.

Finally a banger.
Try to buy it on vinyl today but not find yet.

Do you like Suicidal Angels ?
Yeah they're solid, their new album is really good
Gatecreeper gets extra cookie points from me for being from Arizona 🥰
THRASHIN' JAXON APPERANCE HELL YEAAAHH
Yup it slaps
I got into some Gatecreeper, I actually don’t mind melo Death so this is alright with me
Thrashin' Jaxon is the greatest thing Kerry King's ever inspired.
Instrumentally it is fantastic, I love some of the leads, riffs, and hooks. But yeah, the vocals are okay at best, but they don't obnoxiously take away from the album as a whole and it still really works for me.
Yes, Thrashin Jackson is back, all is right with the world!
I picked up a lot of Swedish death metal vibes from this album. Dismember, Grave, At the Gates and early Arch Enemy. Pretty damn good. 4/5 for me.
That clapping had me thinking it was something else...
😦
Thrashin Jackson!! yeaaaahh!
Eu amei o album e achei uma direção muita justa para a banda em si!
Fora que os riffs estão insanos🔥 mas eu acho que Dark Days tem um otimo início pro album com aquele primeiro riff🔥 e os vocais do Chase estão perfeitos pra mim
Mas otima review meu amigo❤ salv salv do Brasil🇧🇷❤️
YES THRASHIN JACKSON!!!
This album is Sirius XM Liquid Metal fodder
THEY STINK
Less Robert and more Thrashin Jackson 😂
Thrashin Jackson is da man! Hell yeah brother! Lmfao 🤣 😂 😝
I think I hear cowbell on this album in the fifth song 🤘
Yes you do, its very fun and cool
I warned ya. Back there in the comments. You made your monster. Now teach him not to randomly drown children.
FIRE BAD!
5/5
I really like Gatecreeper, but i'm a bit disappointed from this album. Nothing against a more Melo Deat approach, but most of the melodys feel so uninspired. 3/5
Funny enough, I was against the Melo-Death approach but was fairly surprised by the melodies. Probably cause I'm a slam & brutal death fan, my ears are not prepared for that kinda stuff.
Hopefully NO! Just an experimental album.
I was bored to tears. I couldn’t even make it through 3 songs. Sounds like an even more boring version of Power Trip. What a steaming pile of shit!
We see ya Thrashin' Jackson
I'm with you, this band has totally lost me. It's literally just 4 chord pop with distortion and harsh vocals.
@@Bkesal14 dumbest and most ignorant comment I think I've ever seen on TH-cam
This album was booooooring and the vocals ruined it for me
Rare Metal Trenches L
@@anony-moon*common Metal Trenches L
Vanilla band
You gave this album a 8,7 out of 10 😅

Yeah im not digging it all their heavy crushing grooves are gone their just a straight up melodic death metal band now super disappointed.
