Creeper's fantastic vampire concept rock opera Sanguivore has officially been crowned the album of the year by Metal Hammer magazine. Winning a vote conducted by Metal Hammer's staff and writers, the album, which was released in October and received a rave 9/10 review in the mag, tops an absolutely stacked top 50 albums of the year list that features heavy hitters including Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold, Sleep Token, Ville Valo, Skindred, Foo Fighters and more.
Speaking to Metal Hammer in their latest issue, Creeper frontman Will Gould comments: "It's so humbling, especially for the type of record we've made, as the reference points we're drawing from aren't really cool records."
Influenced heavily by rock icons such as Billy Idol, Danzig and the histrionic works of Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf, Sanguivore was met with acclaim across the board upon release, landing in the top 30 of the UK album charts.
