Death heavy weight catchers called CREATURES have got a new single out titled "Samara" with a sophomore EP release called "II" out this summer! The band decided to do some talking about said releases, shows, and the future plans ahead!


1. Give a brief history of your band, and the members.

The band Creatures started in 2015 when members TJ (drums) ,Nick (guitar) and former bassist Greg were looking for a vocalist. Rob joined the band and thus Creatures was born. It started as a 4 piece and eventually recruited Brandon on 2nd guitar to make it 5.

Greg eventually left and Brandon took over bass and we recruited Vic to play guitar. Brandon also ended up leaving being replaced by Christian on bass. The current line up is Rob(vocals), Nick (guitar), Vic (guitar) , Christian (bass) and TJ (drums).

2. Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or came out just like that?

Pretty much came from brain storming different names. We didn't want a "verb the noun" style name and just wanted something short and catchy.

3. What genre does the band play and why did you want to play this particular genre?

We play in the "genre" deathcore but are definitely not limited to that. We just want to make heavy, catchy music. We all grew up listening to punk, metal etc... but all grew into the more heavy sounding styles of metal.

4. Did you know each other before the band was formed?

Yes. We all grew up in south Etobicoke, Ontario with some of us being friends from high school and knowing each other from different bands.

5. Do you write your own songs?

Yes. We all take a group effort in writing the songs.

6. What are the songs about?

The lyrics for creatures come from all different sources. From writing about partying to the philosophical questions of life and what they mean to us. For inspiration we usually write the music first and I get an overall feeling from the song and write about whatever comes to my mind at the time. Maybe I’m going through a tough time and write about that or recent events in the news at the time of writing the song.

7. Who are your musical and non-musical influences?

For musical influences I would say the early days of death core inspired me a lot. Bands such as Emmure, Despised Icon and Whitechapel. But also less heavier bands such as Enter Shikari. Non-musical I would have to say my friends and the people around me inspire me. Pop culture and the news and issues of the world also play into influences for songs.

8. What releases do you have under your belts thus far into your career as musicians?

We have our first self-titled EP released in 2015. We are now getting ready to release are follow up EP called Creatures II.

9. Do you have any new music in the works at this time?

We are always working on new songs and hope to release a full length album in the future.

10. What other plans do you have for this year?

We have a southern Ontario tour planned for the middle of August. We will be hitting up Barrie, Niagara Falls, Kingston and Hamilton. Kicking off our tour on August 12th in Toronto with Traitors, Signs of the Swarm, Falsifier, Being and Portrayal of Purity.

Glass House Point have released a new single called "Creatures". About the track, the band states:

“We’ve been working on creating an entirely new sound. We wanted to make something that’s reflective of where we’ve been and where we are heading. “Creatures” is simply a song about human nature, about the pain and discomfort of moving forward and going separate ways. Lyrically, the song contemplates the past and the immediate future and poses questions about our innate attraction to both love and loss. Musically, the song is full of swelling dynamics, unexpected twists and textures, and some really massive moments. This song is bold, and it demands an ineffable sense of attention.”

Motionless In White have parted ways with their guitarist TJ Bell according to their Facebook.

To all our concerned fans.

We want to clear up all the confusion about the situation with Tj and our band parting ways.  We have made the decision to let Tj go from MIW based on many issues we've been having with him over the years. As some of you may know.. Tj left our band in the middle of touring with us to fill in on bass for Escape The Fate and gave us NO warning whatsoever before he left. As we came to find out... TJ told ETF's management and Craig that he had already asked us in MIW how we felt about it and that we agreed. That was NOT the case at all. The Truth is that he showed up to practice 2 days before we left for tour and told us about ALL of this for the first time and said that it was already set in motion and we didn't have a choice because he was "doing what's best for TJ". He basically fucked us last minute.  Then to top it off.. decided to let us know that instead of leaving for 5 days as he had mentioned when first telling us about all of this... he was now going to be gone for 9 days. ...... he told us this with only a week before leaving with NO time to find a fill in for him whatsoever :/    If our live performance didn't HEAVILY depend on having 2 guitarists then it wouldn't have been a huge deal to us.. but unfortunately having 1 guitar player in a band like ours causes your show to suffer greatly.  We agreed to let TJ  go (even though we didn't have a choice anyway since TJ already had fights booked and ETF payed for it all) because Chris personally spoke to Craig and sorted all of this confusion out. We love ETF and Craig so we had no problem helping them out even though it was putting us in such a tough spot. 

So knowing all of that story, now its time for you guys to see the REAL reasons we let TJ go. The more major reason that we made this tough decision is because a few days before he ended up leaving, all of us in the band got into a pretty big conversation and Tj stated his admission to us that he doesn't like any of us and is only in MIW because he doesn't want to go home and have to work a real job. To us... we shouldn't have to have someone in our band who doesn't like any of us or who isn't as passionate as we are about everything pertaining to MIW and our fans which you obviously know we care about greatly.   We are over people always asking "Where's Tj??" because he refuses to go meet fans after shows. I'm sure ANY of you reading this can agree that when you're in a position like we are, where we are given an AMAZING chance to play music around the world.. you want someone in the band who ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT THE BAND AND THE FANS.  Tj has not only been our guitar player.. but more importantly... has been our friend since the beginning of his time in the band... we let all of the things he does that complicate our band slide by without ever threatening to kick him out because he was our friend. So naturally you can see how shocked we were by him saying he cant deal with all of us and why it makes sense for the better of the band.  there's no reason to be pissed off at him for making the choices in his life that he does.. like we preach on stage... everyone is entitled to do whatever they want with their life and that's cool with us... but his life choices and our band just don't mix anymore.
 
Hopefully you guys will understand where we are coming from as it wasn't an easy decision and was not done out of revenge or anger or disrespect.  We have NO plans to carry on any drama with Tj over this as we wish him the best and none of us have any bad blood with him personally. We've shared so many awesome experiences with him and nothing will ever change that.  We simply just want what's best for MIW and hope you can all respect that as well knowing that we did this for all the right reasons. Thank you all for all of your amazing support and concern with everything as always<3

A new breed of darkness is upon is and it isn’t a pretty sight. Pennsylvanian’s Motionless In White drew in their legion of fans with the debut release of their EP “When Love Met Destruction” (2009). Now with the release of yet another debut, this time an LP “Creatures”, there is no telling as to how far this darkness will seep into our skin.

Whilst this release has been in high demand, Motionless In White have been hard at work getting everything just right. Now then, “Creatures” entwines the gothic realm with an industrial boost of brutalizing breakdowns with intensifying guitar riffs that just makes this music shiver and shout. Shout being the case for the vocal portion that is given on this long overdue release. With that said, the band’s love for horror movies, myths, and the vampire culture has made such tracks as “We Only Come Out At Night”, “Cobwebs”, and “Undead Ahead’ the most ghoulish.

It is indeed noticeable that the band has grown a part from their EP structure and expanded into a more in-depth reality of darkness that, the previous release just couldn’t quite cover. “Creatures” is hands down an anticipated release that has been highly overdue but now that the wait is over, Motionless In White await your approval.

Scranton, PA metallers Motionless In White are thrilled to reveal the cover art and track listing for their debut album Creatures. Recorded in Ocala, FL with Andrew Wade (A Day To Remember, The Word Alive), the album is set for release on October 12th, 2010.

Track listing:

1. Immaculate Misconception
2. We Only Come Out At Night
3. London In Terror
4. Abigail
5. Creatures
6, Cobwebs
7. .Com Pt. II
8. Count Choculitis
9. City Lights
10. Puppets (The First Snow)
11. Undead Ahead
12. Scissorhands (The Last Snow)

“I can absolutely promise that this is going to be one of the most pissed off and unique records of 2010,” notes singer Chris Motionless. “We’ve taken our time to make sure our debut album is worth the wait – and believe me, this will be worth it. Everything we’ve done has completely defined our own sound and will make it near impossible to catergorize us in any one specific genre. I don’t think ANYONE has any idea what to expect, or even moreso, I don’t think anyone is ready for what they’re about to hear!”
