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.

I Lose
Creatures Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll never fit in socially
Beneath the bottom is where I'll dwell
Cursed to suffer in a living hell
Unaccepted, you can't understand
Life on my own as opposed to your plan
Learning fast from my mistakes
And every wrong step that I take
Your faceless cult, I'll never belong
Blind faith has gotten you nowhere,
Ignorance has lead you astray,
Don't ask me if I'm okay
It's just another fucked up day
But I remember a time when I didn't think
The world would be better without me
And I could grow up to be what I wanted to be
And never question society
Light shines on new faces
I venture to new places
That make me want to
Never face this.
I'm feeling alone in these crowded rooms

The lines "Quick to fix what I've done wrong / Your faceless cult, I'll never belong" speak to the idea that the mainstream society may not understand or accept them, but they will continue to find their own way and fix their own mistakes.
Overall, "I Lose" is a powerful emotional expression of feeling like an outsider and struggling to find one's place in society. The lyrics are relatable to many people who feel like they don't fit in or are misunderstood for being different.
