During a mini-documentary that depicted how Gatecreeper created its new album Dark Superstition, guitarist Eric Wagner explained that production was more of a team effort than any other album the Phoenix metal outfit has released.

New kid Alex Brown contributes not only his regular bass, but also guitar licks and a few drum parts, while drummer Matt Arrebollo got to pitch in with guitar compositions and song ideas in general.

“We started getting together regularly to practice and workshop these songs. Just something in the past we hadn’t always had a lot of time to do,” he said in the mini-doc.

Opening night of Gatecreeper’s next run of shows will be its first show in town since a 2022 stop at the since-shuttered Ybor City Orpheum, with Frozen Soul and Worm in tow.

Tickets to see Gatecreeper play Tampa Orpheum on Tuesday, Sept. 17 are still available and start at $49.
