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.

Flesh
Creatures Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Young glands young flesh invade the room
A sardonic mood ughh...
Watch the rich fatty eating raw fish with avid curiosity
Oh piggy squeals and donkey bray -- at a sober party
Doggy barks and horsey neighs -- try to shock the party
Impaled with fear
A disfigured dismembered sex with a third world cast
Young glands young flesh the beating heart
Oh piggy squeals and donkey brays -- at a sober party
Doggy barks and horsey neighs -- try to shock the party
The bursting balloon cocktails are soon
Young glands young flesh penetrate the room
They fall on the camera lens against the tumble drier screen
On the edit room floor lies a messier scene
Oh piggy squeals and donkey brays -- at a sober party
Doggy barks and horsey neighs -- try to shock the party
The song "Flesh" by the British band Creatures, a project of Siouxsie and the Banshees' vocalist Siouxsie Sioux and drummer Budgie, portrays a decadent and hedonistic party where the guests indulge in raw fish and sexual excess, fuelled by popping balloons filled with cocktails. The imagery of young flesh being invaded by primitive, animalistic behaviors such as pig and donkey noises, as well as horse neighing and dog barking, adds to the sense of desperation and depravity.
The lyrics suggest a sense of danger and fear that is also tied with feelings of pleasure and desire. The use of the word "impaled" adds a sense of violence and aggression, while the "third world cast" implies a sense of exploitation and domination. The final line of the chorus, "young glands young flesh the beating heart," emphasizes the youthful energy and raw sexuality that drives the festivities.
Overall, "Flesh" depicts a world where humanity's basest instincts are indulged, revealing a harsh critique of the excesses and violence of the modern world.
Line by Line Meaning
The bursting balloon cocktails are soon
The party is starting to get wild and out of control
Young glands young flesh invade the room
Young, fresh bodies are taking over the party
A sardonic mood ughh...
A sarcastic and mocking atmosphere prevails
Watch the rich fatty eating raw fish with avid curiosity
The wealthy are indulging in exotic foods without concern for others
Oh piggy squeals and donkey bray -- at a sober party
People are behaving like animals, even though they are in a controlled environment
Doggy barks and horsey neighs -- try to shock the party
People are trying to shock others with their animal-like behavior
Impaled on pleasure impaled on a spear impaled with danger
People are enjoying themselves, but at the same time, are endangering themselves
Impaled with fear
People are afraid of the consequences of their actions
A disfigured dismembered sex with a third world cast
Sexual activities are occurring with people from different cultures, in a way that is destructive and unpleasant
Young glands young flesh the beating heart
The young and attractive people are the life force of the party
The bursting balloon cocktails are soon
The party is getting even more chaotic
Young glands young flesh penetrate the room
Fresh, youthful bodies continue to dominate the scene
They fall on the camera lens against the tumble drier screen
The wild behavior is being captured on film and displayed on screens
On the edit room floor lies a messier scene
The final product will be even more exaggerated and out of control
Oh piggy squeals and donkey brays -- at a sober party
The animalistic behavior continues, despite the fact that the party should be in control
Doggy barks and horsey neighs -- try to shock the party
People are still trying to shock others with their behavior, even when it is inappropriate
