CREEPING DEATH is on a quick and furious ascent from the underground. The Texas death metal crew repeatedly delivers 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 whips 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 slab of spectacular weight, dimension, 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.
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 songcraft, 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.

Ingrown
Ingrown is a volatile hardcore 3-piece from the Great State of Idaho. Starting in 2015, but growing tremendously in 2021 on the heels of their first full length album simply titled”GUN”(Alternatives Label), the band is leading the charge for putting Boise on the map for aggressive music. Known for their unhinged live shows, short “trim the fat”song structures, and machine gun precision blast beats, the band is making their mark one city at a time having toured North America with the likes of Obituary, Immolation, Harms Way, FleshWater, Drain, Trapped Under Ice, and more. The band’s latest effort is a 7 Inch titled “ColdSteel” and is the band’s first release on Closed Casket Activities.
