CREEPING DEATH To Kick Off North American Tour Supporting High On Fire And Power Trip This Week - Wretched Illusions

“…a quality banger that reflects the band’s influences (Grave, Bolt Thrower, and early Sepultura) as it seamlessly blends elements of black and thrash metal into a decidedly death-metal structure – giving CREEPING DEATH a solid edge in the new wave of OSDM bands to crop up over the past few years.” — Revolver on “Bloodlust Contamination”

“…the band is such a ferocious unit that their guttural churn pretty much sells itself. They go straight for the jugular and never relent, a song like ‘Bloodlust Contamination’ roaring with raw, meaty riffs and beats that feel like being pelted in the ribcage with heavy, smoothed stones.” — Treble Best Metal Tracks Of August 2019

“CREEPING DEATH toe the line between death metal and thrash with flashes of hardcore, reminiscent of a time before these labels were slapped on brutish, ugly sounds and they were more or less one in the same.” — Loudwire

" "One thing can be said about CREEPING DEATH: they're committed to their name... on the material from their upcoming new album Wretched Illusions, the band are exploring a moldier, more clammy-to-the-touch sound that oozes and lumbers as much as it rips... " -- Kerrang!


Texas death metal unit CREEPING DEATH unleashed their Wretched Illusions full-length debut worldwide via Entertainment One(eOne) on September 27th.


Summoned forth from the fertile metal grounds of the Lone Star State, the DIY-subculture bred miscreants of CREEPING DEATH are staging their own sort of musical Alamo, entrenched with their fierce dedication to traditional death metal brutality and the fury of classic thrash.


Revolver Magazine declared CREEPING DEATH an Artist You Need To Know, celebrating the band’s 2018 Specter Of War EP as, “simple and brutal, much like a baseball bat to the face.” No Echo was among the first to shine a light on the Denton, Texas band, admiring the sludgy guitar tones and riffing style of old school death metal and swinging pit-friendly groove. A celebrated performance at Thrasher Magazine’s Death Match 2019 and a buzzed-about co-headlining tour with Fuming Mouth further demonstrated why MetalSucks encouraged readers to “Get Your Old-School Death Metal Fix With New School Band CREEPING DEATH.”


The band’s blistering new full-length platter, Wretched Illusions, raises the stakes with undeniable and unrelenting anthems like “Bloodlust Contamination,” “World Decay,” “Corroded From Within,” and album opener “Ripping Through Flesh.” Each of the record’s ten tracks is a certified ripper, keeping those baseball bat swings coming, over and over.


Devotees of influential death metal merchants like Blood Red Throne, Gorguts, and Grave have a new band to champion. CREEPING DEATH draw liberally from the template set by those bands along with the speed of early Sepultura (Brazil) and the hammering epic crush of Bolt Thrower (England). All of these classic sounds are re-forged together and reflected through CREEPING DEATH’s own fresh and unique prism.


Wretched Illusions is the kind of jaw-dropping, riff-dripping debut that could only come from road hardened chemistry, a collaborative and improvisation heavy rehearsal space, and the lessons of two well received EPs and a tape trading era nostalgic demo. 2016’s Sacrament Of Death and the aforementioned Specter Of War were short bursts of aggressive pummeling that earned the band impressive festival slots and tours with Judiciary, Momentum, and Homewrecker.


Produced by close comrade Daniel Schmuck (Power Trip, Messengers, End Times) and mixed and mastered by burgeoning tastemaker Arthur Rizk (Ghostmane, Cavalera Conspiracy, Outer Heaven), Wretched Illusions is a confident missive of percussive bombast. It’s beyond CREEPING DEATH’s already impressive early rumblings – it’s fast, challenging, and decisive.


CREEPING DEATH’s Wretched Illusions is out now on CD, digital, and vinyl formats. For orders go to THIS LOCATION: ffm.to/wretchedillusions
