Bjorn became the main songwriter because Jesper bailed, but he's obviously not that guy. I'm willing to bet a good amount of money that Anders is to blame for their change of direction and the rest of the guys went along with it because it obviously, as eak said, made them do good for themselves. He's the one who adopted the whole emo thing and started doing his whiny emo bitch inflections at the end of words

1000000%. Anders became kind of a megalomaniac as soon as Jesper left and it got insufferable.

Gatecreeper really kicked ass

Album Rating: 3.0

hell yeah. gatecreeper crushed - felt bad for them bc a lot of the crowd here seemed to be there for new IF and didn't really seem too interested in their set. super wack

Album Rating: 2.5

It's really wild and very ironic that they have a death metal band opening for them and then having a setlist like that

Album Rating: 3.0

lol

anders even had a couple awkward quips about how good their old stuff was, too. something about how listening to whoracle every morning would make you a better person. really bizarre crowd work and a huge lack of self awareness



also like man none of these mfs are gonna listen to whoracle just play i am above and get it over with

NYC is def showing up for Gatecreeper. I'm looking at this show as Creeping Death + Gatecreeper with a little bonus treat of Anders and Friends playing Food for the Gods

Anders just called whoracle "the green album". I thought he didnt want to say the word whore or something

I thought Anders was pretty funny at the Portland show, at least from where I was. Didn't get any negative or awkward vibes. I think he just has a strange sense of humor.



Gatecreeper was alright, not really my style. But every "new" track they played was pretty great. That "Caught in the Treads" song especially. I think I had more fun with Creeping Death. That guitarist doing the roundhouse kicks, lol

hell yea Arte. Gatecreeper's new album is really leaning into melodeath territory, but more like The God that Never Was by Dismember melodeath
