1) In the fall… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least 5 artists with the name Creatures.
1) In the fall of 2007, five friends came together to play metalcore and crossover thrash in vein of Slayer, Ringworm, and Hatebreed: Creatures was born. The band wrote an incredible demo and played shows non-stop through out Southern California and made sure no warehouse, garage, or venue was safe from their ferocious live performance. Locals wanted more, and they got it when Creatures dropped their debut s/t 7" at Sound and Fury 2008; playing an explosive opening set that blew everyone out of the water (and some out of conciousness). Creatures made their mark on the masses. In winter of 2008, Creatures teamed up with So-Cal locals, Downpresser, to release a split for So-Cal based label, Fineprint Records, followed by a winter tour to support their efforts.
Creatures' debut full length, "I, Lucifer" focuses on the band's metal roots and pushes their sound further to the limit. Face melting solos, heavy-pulvurizing riffs, and extreme speed is sure to provide something for everyone. With lyrics of depression, anger, and rage, this album is sure to keep your head banging.

Death Reigns
Creatures Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My heart as dark as the night.
I'm left hanging by the rope and it's tied.
No escape for me this time
Death will soon be my past
The blood in my veins runs dry
Hell awaits
No turning back
From here
Left to roam the underworld
The end is near
No turning back
No escape
No eden
No rapture
Death Reigns
In Creatures' song "Death Reigns", the lyrics paint the picture of a person who has given in to the inevitability of their fate. The opening line, "Voices clawing at the back of my throat," suggests an overwhelming sense of despair and anxiety. The next line, "My heart as dark as the night," reinforces this bleak mood, underscoring the hopelessness of the situation. The imagery of being "left hanging by the rope" is particularly striking, conjuring up the picture of a person who is physically and emotionally trapped. The line "No escape for me this time" further emphasizes this feeling of being trapped, with death being the only way out. The repetition of the phrase "No turning back" reinforces the idea that the person has accepted their fate and is ready to face the consequences.
The second half of the song shifts from the person's personal experience to the wider implications of their death. The line "Left to roam the underworld" suggests that the person is destined for hell, adding a religious subtext to the song. The final lines of the song, "No eden, no rapture, death reigns," drive home the message that death is the ultimate reality, and there is no escaping its grasp.
Overall, the lyrics to "Death Reigns" are a poignant reminder of the inescapable nature of death. The sense of despair and resignation in the lyrics is powerful, and the repeated phrases emphasize the inevitability of the outcome. The song is a reminder that despite our best efforts, we all must face death at some point, and it is up to us to make the most of the time we have.
