PROFILE: When Gatecreeper first burst onto the scene, the classic death metal band leaned into their love of punk and hardcore in addition to metal, playing anything, anywhere, and with anyone they could. Skip ahead to now, where half the hardcore scene has death metal riffs, punks are skipping over Hellbastard and heading straight for Bolt Thrower, and metalheads are rejoicing that Dismember are back in biz. So maybe, just maybe, Gatecreeper were and are onto something? Judge for yourself at one of their zillion tour dates around the world—just follow the trail of destmction and dudes in black long-sleeves.
