CREATURE announce new EP ‘Hound’

CREATURE have announced a brand new EP!

The EP, titled Hound, is the second instalment in a trilogy of EPs from the Birmingham band and is scheduled for release in October.

Following on from the band’s debut EP Hex earlier this year, the upcoming EP was recorded with revered UK producer Steve Sears (GALLOWS, KROKODIL, ROLO TOMASSI) and features artwork by UK illustrator Luke Preece (METALLICA, GHOST, SLIPKNOT).

Alongside the announcement of the new EP, the band have also released their new single Lifeless.

Speaking about the track, guitarist and vocalist James Thompson says, “I can’t express how frustrated I get when people take information fed to us by the media at face value. There is always an agenda at play. Something closer to the truth is available if you know how and where to look, so Lifeless is a vent at how we are manipulated on a daily basis. We’re told who the villains are, how we should be investing our time and energy – just to line someone else’s pockets or fulfil their political ambitions. Life is precious, you must value the time you have here, don’t take it for granted.”

The band will also be embarking on their debut UK headline tour this November, including an EP launch in the band’s home city.

Speaking about the tour, drummer Tom Bradshaw says, “we couldn’t be more excited for our first UK tour. The live expression of our creative offering is always the most rewarding for us as a band – playing to likeminded people, meeting new bands and thriving off the buzz of tearing it up each night. CREATURE can’t wait to take these new songs on the road following the Hound release.”

Tour dates are as follows: 

1 November – Glasgow, The 13th Note
2 November – Manchester, Satan’s Hollow
3 November – London, Old Blue Last
6 November – Nottingham, The Chameleon
7 November – Bristol, The Gryphon
8 November – Cardiff, 10 Feet Tall
9 November – Birmingham, The Flapper (EP Launch)

Hound is set for release on October 18th via Grey Ghost Records.
