Creeper know how to turn a simple album opener into a full-blown horror show, but with “Mistress Of Death,” they flip the script right into the heart of their vampire saga. As track two on Sanguivore II: Mistress of Death that hitting shelves this Halloween, October 31, via Spinefarm, this one’s a galloping beast that starts with those eerie Western harmonies and explodes into pure ’80s rock fury, like if Ennio Morricone crashed a Twisted Sister gig.
Frontman Will Gould, channeling his William Von Ghould persona, has called the whole record sleazier and sexier than the first Sanguivore, ditching some ballads for faster, meaner riffs that nod to Motörhead’s grit and KISS’s flash. It’s the perfect intro to the Mistress herself—a hunter rising from the shadows to chase down our bloodthirsty rockers amid the Satanic Panic’s witch hunts.
Gould spilled in a Kerrang! chat that this sequel dives deeper into that ’80s chaos, where metal kids got branded as demons, turning the band’s excess into a revenge-fueled escape. Produced by Tom Dalgety, the track’s got that cinematic punch, all soaring guitars and pounding drums that make you feel the stake’s edge. Fans caught an early taste at Blondies’ listening party last week, and X is lighting up with clips of the crowd losing it over the chorus’s hook. At 12 tracks, the album’s a non-stop thrill ride, but this song sets the blood pumping, blending punk snarl with goth grandeur. Early reviews from Louder are calling it Creeper’s most arena-ready yet, with the Mistress emerging as the ultimate anti-heroine.
Dive into the Mistress Of Death lyrics below and chase the thrill. Don’t miss other Sanguivore II: Mistress of Death tracks for more of Creeper’s blood-soaked rock opera.
Lyrics of Mistress Of Death by Creeper
Some Nights The Blood Is Warmer, Some Nights Are Cold As Ice
Some Nights, Love Can Come Back To Life
Some Nights Your Heart’s In Bondage, Some Nights You’re Dreaming Of Me
Some Nights, You’d Die To Stay Alive
Mistress Of Death, Princess Of Pain And Punishment
Rain Down Upon Me, Sister, Your Sweet Malevolence
Mistress Of Death, Angelic Underworld Huntress
Lay Down Upon Me, Sister, The Sharpest Kiss Of Death
The Kiss Of Death
Some Nights I’d Run Forever, Some Nights We’re Bound Together
Some Nights, The Dark Calls Out Your Name
Some Nights You Are Scared Of Me, Some Nights You Feel The Rush
Some Nights, Your Skin Sears At The Touch
Mistress Of Death, Princess Of Pain And Punishment
Rain Down Upon Me, Sister, Your Sweet Malevolence
Mistress Of Death, Angelic Underworld Huntress
Lay Down Upon Me, Sister, The Sharpest Kiss Of Death
Kiss Of Death
Mistress Of Death, Princess Of Pain And Punishment
Rain Down Upon Me, Sister, Your Sweet Malevolence
Mistress Of Death, Angelic Underworld Huntress
Lay Down Upon Me, Sister, The Sharpest Kiss Of Death
