Gatecreeper announce upcoming livestream – their first gig in over a year

Fresh from the release of their surprise new album An Unexpected Reality, Arizona death metal titans Gatecreeper have announced details of their first-ever livestream.

The band will be hitting the Crescent Ballroom in Phoenix on February 19 from 6pm PST / 9pm EST (that's 2am on February 20 for folks who want to check it out in the UK), with tickets available now. If you can't 'make' the set, it'll be available to watch back for a short while once the stream has ended.

"It's been over a year since our last show and we have been dying to play together again," says vocalist Chase Mason. "Unfortunately, we aren't able to play in a sweaty packed club, but we are working hard to make this livestream as close as possible to the real thing. We hope everybody will be circle-pitting in their living room or headbanging on their couch along with us."
