I listened to this on almost repeat earlier this year after my Dad died so thank you Chase and the guys of Gatecreeper for helping me get through it.
Same.. I lost my father of mine in may 2020, it was the worst year of my life because of it.. I feel your pain brother. We’ll get through this together as one❤️❤️
I used to know Chase when he was in jr high. I was a few years younger than him and he was already making a name for himself in his band called “the treehouse Cadillacs”. Him and my older sister went trick or treating one year and my older sister wouldn’t let me come. I was so bummed. But chase told her that I was coming too. Thank you, Chase, I’ll never forget that memory.
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my mom almost 2 years ago. Forever thankful for music to help alleviate the pain. I wish you well brother 🖤
Chase is one of the best dudes that I’ve been able to call a friend and it’s cool to see what he was able to a accomplish after he got sober, Huge inspiration. It’s totally rad and amazing to see that his music has helped people through there dark times. I love how good music does that, there’s nothing like it. Keep killing it Chase!!!! Sorry to hear about your loss🙏
He’s in a better place God willing. Keep strong.
Gatecreeper proving that good metal is still being made.
facts
I saw them with municipal waste and obituary last night and I swear everyone was talking about gatecreeper more than anybody else . Had to be the sickest show I’ve ever got to experience
@@darianmendoza1785 Damn, sick show
@@darianmendoza1785 so lucky dude
Metal is one of the very few genres still going strong in this day and age. People do a lot of complaining about other genres, but metal doesn't seem to be one of them. I'm having absolutely no problems finding new music that kicks ass. Lamb of God's new shit is sick af too.
Watching this on the toilet at work
Best place to watch videos. I've watched full concerts in the bathroom. There must be something about the acoustics..
Always shit on company time

God damn it's so good. If Gatecreeper released a doom album I'd buy it twice lol.
100%. These doom songs they do are just incredible.
What the fuck is happening in the doom genre? This is blowing my goddamn fucking mind. Death metal is taking over doom and I am 100% okay with this....
I love the doom elements
Doom/swedish death metal
Wouldn't be surprised these dudes actually do it.
Two of my favorite Gatecreeper's song, love their Doom side
Yeaa the Doom is strong with this one!!!
I keep coming back to this, and it's better every time. A full album of death-doom would be absolutely fucking sick. Also, seeing this live would be mind-blowing.
I'm going to see them live tonight and I'm hoping to see this played, specifically.
@@THEEArmoredSaint Fingers crossed
I wanted to hear these live but i saw em open for knocked loose so i shouldve assumed they'd play their other shit for that crowd. They had that whole church bssement headbanging though. Better live than on record even
seen them last night open for hatebreed. they fucking killed it.
@@craigwitt5 as someone who loves hatebreed, that's a sick tour. I love seeing completely different sounding bands on the same bills.
In April of 2022 this video was suggested to me on UA-cam Music when I opened the app on my phone when I woke up in the morning to watch music videos as I often would do back then. The reason this morning was significant was because it was the day after I had to put my dog down after having been with him for twelve years, and going to sleep with him every night next to my bed. I thought "huh I've heard Gatecreeper before and thought they were cool," and obviously the title grabbed me. At the time I didn't know the words, but the music and the vocals felt like they encapsulated just how I felt. I listened to this song every day for months before I finally looked up the lyrics. Which was a heavy moment for me right from the first line. I still listen to this song at least twice a week. Gatecreeper has been my favorite band since that day, and this song always makes me remember the times I had with my best friend.
So sick seeing Chase on guitar aswell!
im 41 and have tried playing guitar numerous times and it never stuck. Craving Flesh and Emptiness are the first songs that made it click and made it feel enjoyable.
This song helped me through my separation last year, I remember playing it on guitar on so many nights when I felt like I just wanted to end it all
I’m glad you didn’t! Keep that head up high. There’s many more years of metal to come!
This shit is so good, should be a 7" live vinyl
I could listen to a whole album of their doomier side, Absence is probably my favorite song. Cheers lads, awesome as always :)
Definitely one of their best songs. And probably their best in my opinion. It’s just such a haunting song.
Chase used to be in Spirit Adrift so it all makes sense.
I'd love to find some other bands with this exact same sound. Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance
@@victorcarpena1692 Spirit Adrift, namely their older stuff, Khemmis, Windhand, Monolord, just to name a few. Just start looking up doom metal bands and you’ll find some stuff you like.
@@victorcarpena1692 check out Cough and Fister. They both have different guitar tone but harsh vocals.
Can I get a death doom album from y'all soon, thanks god bless
Looking great in that Necrot and Mortuous gear fellas. This is sick.
They always reppin necrot, sick band
The snare sound to end all snare sounds. Sounds awesome!
Genuinely!! It honestly rivals the black album snare in my opinion
No lie the best snare I’ve ever heard
If you're a fan of bomb snare sound, check out Ahab, Call of the Wretched Sea
The aesthetic of the white rose with chains on the mic stand is so sick 👏🏻
One of the best performances by any band on all of UA-cam.
Can't get enough of this it's so good.
That Gibson LP Custom lookin clean on Chase 👌👌🌊🏄♂️
This is a band that should record every record they do live to tape and/or in front of a crowd
Emptiness live just fucking rips! Love the pallbearer and paradise lost vibes. I've had emptiness on solid replay since release day. Keep up the good work lads!
I’ve been a metal head/hardcore kid since I was 11. It took a fusion of Gatecreeper, Obituary, and Blood Incantation to help me finally fall in love with death metal at almost age 29. This isn’t just good death/doom metal. This is art.
There are so many good young bands right now. Each are taking so many genres to new heights and each have their own unique vibe. Gatecreeper, Blood Incantation, Power Trip (RIP Riley), Code Orange, Knocked Loose, Turnstile, and then there are legends like Madball, RATM, and Obituary that are being rediscovered by a whole new generation. We are blessed to be in a renaissance.
I get goosebumps every time that church bell rings out 4:51 into Emptiness. On this live version he lets out a “yeullllch” instead though. I love Gatecreeper because the lyrics are relatable more than most death metal I listen to.
3 guitars is the move. I could see how the limitations of singing and playing guitar could be a really cool influence on how the band writes and grooves
Yes, and no....yeah, that's a big contradiction saying that, but then you have bands like Obscura that have 50 billion time changes in 2 seconds!!
Yeeeeeah, I exaggerated a wee bit there, buuuut I had to get my point across...
Dont get me wrong, not knocking Obscura, and they are a completely different type of band than GK.......
How about this, I love this song and its awesome!! There that's better...
3 guitars and they all do the same stuff except solos?
@@Dhieen I was gonna say same thing
@@Dhieen Chase plays the rhythm while the other guitarists harmonize
That little part near the end of the song gives me DSBM vibes. Touches my heart strings
Question of the day: Is Gatecreeper capable of doing anything bad?
The answer is no.
now you've jinxed it
They suck
great vision and execution
@@grindcoreelitist6985 you like grindcore
@@absen-7965 It's much better than this shit
genre aside, this is great musical technique and shows the songwriting side of these guys even harder.. so underrated
Their lyrics are so slept on
Took my break at work early. Although they don't know that 🤘😁
🤣🤣🤣🤘🏽🤘🏽
Chase mason for president 2024
Never would have thought a band from Arizona would make me love black sludge-y metal again. ❤
I wouldn’t be mad if they stopped doing death metal all together. I’ve loved this band since they first started putting out music and maybe I’m biased because I prefer doom over death but this is incredible. Whatever the case, I’m here for it
isnt it a mix between doom and death? doom is that agressive?
@@Dhieen Doomth? Deam?
If these songs were peanut butter, they would be extra-crunchy.
Doom fan hearing of these guys for the first time. It certainly won't be the last time! These songs are just superb.
The style they're mostly known for is death metal strongly influenced by Swedish Death Metal of the 90's like Entombed
Proud of these dudes for representing AZ and kickin ass, badass band.
One of the best and most hard workin American metal bands to emerge in recent years. Hail & respect!
A whole record of funeral doom songs like this would be fucking amazing
Production goals for sure.
This is what we like to hear
@@SOUNDSIGNALAUDIO Honestly, I like this as much as or better than their studio sound
I am an old fogey metal fan that has seen everything.
But not this. This is the best I've seen for a long time.
I really hope you can make it to Gefle Metal Festival next year. Will you have a fullk concert in Europe soon?
Is this what it feels like to be baptized?
This album helped me more than anyone will ever know.
Can't wait to see yall live!!
That was great!
Absence of Light, man that song hits home. Awesome performance.
Love these guys! HEAVY AF!
Perfection.... Just what I needed. Thanks lads 🤘🖤
Magnificent!!!
Incredible!
Great perform!!
This is great! Thank you! I hope to see chase on guitar and singing “emptiness” live soon!
Just found you guys. Absolutely crazy sound. I have listened to this this performance about 20 times in the past 3 days. I can't wait to hear more. I'm going to follow you everywhere I can.
Fantastic stuff!
This is going to be so sick!! I can't wait. Much love from the UK
You guys are simply great. Hope you never stop doing such good music. 👌🏻
Amazing 😭😭😭😭😭
This is brilliant and I can’t get enough of it.
Such a great tune.
I've watched this hundreds of times. Much love
What a band!!!

This. This is what I needed in my life.
Nice sound guys!!
Tremendous!! Legendary riffs ❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

This is sick...heavy as they come!
That was fucking epicccc….creeper never disappoints.Thank you for putting that together these two Detroit shows are gonna be insaneeee
Oh yes!!
Top video and performance ! Wow !!
I've seen them once before here in San Diego and they blew me away! So, I was hella stoked for their show with Obituary, Municipal Waste, Enforced, and Spirit World @ The Music Box last week! They were the main act I really wanted to see, and yep they blew me away once again! I do love the other bands they toured with, but I love GATECREEPER just a little bit more!
Seeing you guys in Dallas tomorrow!!!
Great performance! Really dig your more doomed work.
Perfection !
THIS IS SO GOOD
Slowcreeper is delicious.
Truly amazing...cant stop listening...what a surprise...doom surprise 🤘🤘
Never fail to make me smile… 🥰🤘🏽🤘🏽
Outstanding.
Smashed the hell out of that one. A deadly lullaby and one of my faves
I wish I was seeing this in an arena. Great performance.
That guitar tone... OMFSATAN! Amazing performace!
Superb !
This is sick. Thanks you guys. Needed this therapy after a shitty day at the office. I love gatecreeper hope to see u guys this fall in AZ 💀
This is the best song wrote by Gatecreeper(Emptiness)! More Funeral Doom, please
This is the most beautiful live performance I've ever seen...
Beautiful.
Heard of Gatecreeper in the past but never gave them a listen before today. Holy shit, these guys are awesome
This is the first thing I heard from them since their first album in 2016, which while I thought it was cool, I wasn't immediately grabbed. Watching this performance floored me, I was unaware they could doom this well. Now I've been on a Gatecreeper binge for the past few days
I really dig these songs.
Can't stop watching this
Best song of the year. A truelly deep banger!
LOVE FROM COLORADO, YOU GUYS RULE
sick ! loved it
Thank you, Rippy!
;) you the best
Just...thank you for this.
Lighting a candle for this shit, shawtaaaayyy.
listened to their latest album today. i really loved emptiness. definitely checking out their past music.
Wow, keep going my friend... watching🤗👍
Found this gem, now i go to sleep with this video every night, absence of light is just on another level, glad i discovered this guys, pushed me to play again after years, now i learn song after song, amazing band
