Texas death metal force CREEPING DEATH have signed with BLKIIBLK, the heavy metal imprint of the Frontiers Label Group, and are developing their third studio album — described as their most intense work yet.
The band, formed by vocalist REESE ALAVI and guitarists A.J. ROSS III and TREY PEMBERTON, has steadily built a reputation in the underground since their 2016 debut demo Sacrament Of Death. Their catalog includes full-length Wretched Illusions (2019), EP The Edge Of Existence (2021), and Boundless Domain (2023) — the latter featuring a notable collaboration with KILLSWITCH ENGAGE's ADAM DUTKIEWICZ. The current lineup also includes bassist ADDRIAN BIJAN JAFARITABAR and drummer ROBERT DOMINGUEZ.
"We're beyond stoked to join forces with BLKIIBLK," frontman ALAVI said. "It couldn't have come at a better time." BLKIIBLK's MIKE GITTER echoed the enthusiasm: "They've got the riffs, the heaviness, and a work ethic that's second to none."
Guitarist PEMBERTON offered an insight into the band's creative ethos: "We really only wrote music for us. We make music that's fun for us to play." It's the kind of statement that's easy to dismiss — until you hear the riffs, which fully deliver on the promise.
To mark the signing, CREEPING DEATH will hit the road on The Summer Slaughter Tour 2026 Part II alongside HATEBREED, TERROR, INCANTATION, GATES TO HELL, and TORTURE.
With BLKIIBLK's infrastructure behind them and a new album in development, CREEPING DEATH are positioned for their widest audience yet. A third album from one of Texas's most promising death metal outfits should be worth the wait.
