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.

Inoa'Ole
The lyrics of Creatures' song "Inoa'Ole" are mainly composed of a series of indistinct Hawaiian chanting, combined with a few repeated phrases. However, these seemingly simple lyrics hold a deeper meaning related to the concept of identity. "Inoa'Ole" literally translates to "nameless," which can be interpreted as an acknowledgement of the fact that one's true identity cannot be fully encapsulated by a mere name. In other words, the song explores the idea that there is more to a person than just their given name, and that the true essence of one's being cannot be accurately described by words alone.
The repetitive nature of the lyrics also reinforces this idea, perhaps suggesting that our true identity is something that can only be felt or experienced, not simply spoken or written. The indistinct chanting gives the song an ethereal quality, as if expressing something beyond human language. It creates a sense of mystery and reverence, inviting the listener to contemplate their own identity and what it truly means to be "nameless."
