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.

Line by Line Meaning
Wandering through the narrow thorough-fare, the motorway is standing on its own, I see me walking there...
I am lost and wandering through the crowded streets, while the motorway feels disconnected and separate from me. I feel detached and aimlessly walking without purpose.
one for the road - one for the road, the headlights find my load,
I take one last drink before embarking on the journey. As I walk along, the headlights illuminate my burden.
following signs and always taking my time, following signs these thumbs have klights of their own,
I follow traffic signals at my own leisurely pace, trusting my intuition to guide me on my path.
one more for the road, just one more for the road, digital fun in the sun follow my thumb, follw my thumb,
Despite the road ahead and uncertainties looming, I take one more drink and indulge in electronic addiction. I rely on my thumb to guide me through the virtual world.
these thumbs are my guns see them dance when I'm blue,
My thumbs have become my weapons, and I use them to protect myself when I'm feeling down.
this beacon is my fare, anytime, anywhere,take a ride by a side in day or night,
My phone is my guide, and I can summon it anywhere, anytime for a ride. It takes me on new adventures day and night.
travelling through - some old, some new - just one more for the road, just another one for the road,
I travel through places, some familiar, and some new. Despite knowing that I should stop, I take one more drink, succumbing to my impulses.
jump inside little girl take a ride by my side,
I offer a ride to a young woman beside me, luring her into the unknown.
there's no end to this ride with this stranger tonight, there was just one more for the road, just another one for the road,
The ride with a stranger has no end in sight, and I know that I shouldn't have taken one more drink, but I did anyway.
digital fun in the sun, follow my thumb, follow my thumb, digital fun in the sun, follow my thumb...follow my thumb...follow my thumb
As I indulge in digital fun, I let my thumb guide me and lose myself in these tempting distractions.
