Last year, melodramatic Southampton Goth-punks Creeper capped off an incredible 2023 by winning Metal Hammer's Critics Poll, with their outstanding third full-length LP Sanguivore getting voted the magazine's album of the year. Despite Creeper running away with the big W, even with some tough competition from the likes of Avenged Sevenfold, Metallica, Sleep Token, Code Orange and more, it seems not entirely everybody was delighted with the result.
In a new video posted to their official Youtube channel, Creeper - via their 'familiar'/official mascot Darcia - read out the less impressed comments from some of the more vocal metalheads who had found out about the band's victory and felt compelled to share their dismay. "It sounds like worse Ghost", "In this case, advertising pays off" and the very expressive "Holy shit this list is HORRIBLE" are amongst our personal favourites, but you can see Darcia dissect them all below.
