Creeping Death are on a quick and furious ascent from the underground. The death metal crew have repeatedly delivered a relentless bludgeoning summoned from the furthest reaches of the genre's past, present, and future. A triumphant celebration of the style itself, the Lone Star State fivesome whip up gruesome riffage and Southern grooves with an improbable cathartic glee.
As Revolver Magazine observed, Creeping Death "assemble hulking riffs, screaming guitar solos, and ghastly vocal lows, and play them with the urgent momentum of a sterling hardcore band." The band's formula hits perfection with the brilliant Boundless Domain, a sophomore slice of spectacular weight, girth, and might. Produced by Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz (As I Lay Dying, The Acacia Strain, Underoath), Boundless Domain is a certified ripper, top to bottom.
In the wake of the passing of local heroes Riley Gale of Power Trip and Wade Allison of Iron Age, the band - guitarist Trey Pemberton, singer Reese Alavi, bassist Eric "Rico" Mejia, drummer Lincoln Mullins, and guitarist A.J. Ross, found themselves digging back into some of their metallic hardcore favourites. "We made it a point to bring in more influences from hardcore bands we came up loving, especially Texas hardcore," Pemberton explains. "There's a lot of Mammoth Grinder, Iron Age, and Power Trip influence. Having Riley and Wade pass so close to one another left a huge hole in the scene. We all went on a kick of listening to the Texas stuff for a while, and it definitely seeped into our writing."
Boundless Domain boasts future death metal classics like the super heavy, fast, and groovy 'Intestinal Wrap,' which features George 'Corpsegrinder' Fisher of Cannibal Corpse. 'Vitrified Earth' showcases Creeping Death's increasing skills at song-craft, most evident with the cadence and phrasing of Alavi's vocals while never neglecting the sick riffs. Toward the album's end, there's even a bit of a spaced-out atmosphere, with guitar effects, harmonies, and heady time signatures.

About Creeping Death
Originally hailing from Denton, Texas, and now situated in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area, Creeping Death summon a vibrant sound that is somehow both familiar and fresh. Their initial outburst, 2016's three-song Sacrament Of Death, introduced them to death and thrash metal audiences, followed two years later by the Specter Of War EP. By the time they unleashed 2019's Wretched Illusions album, Kerrang! hailed Creeping Death as "an underground juggernaut" that "channels all the raddest aspects of metal without getting shoehorned into any clichés." 2021's The Edge Of Existence EP further demonstrated the power, fury, and revelry at the heart of their identity.
Tours with High On Fire, The Acacia Strain, Rotting Out, Terror, and The Warriors spread the Creeping Death message. Crowds succumbed to the group's combination of endlessly catchy riffage, precise percussion, and storytelling lyrics. Early 2023 saw Creeping Death travel overseas to the UK and Europe with Revocation and Goatwhore. A US trek supporting Carcass, Municipal Waste, and Sacred Reich is on the books. The journey kicks off on 31st March in Santa Ana, California and winds its way through two dozen cities, closing on April 30th in Los Angeles, California.
