In a genre with a laundry list of cookie-cutter bands all fighting to grab the attention of a young audience, sometimes distinguishing yourself is a matter of degrees. On their debut full-length, Motionless in White attempt to do just that. Delivering a heavy-hitting does of horror themed metalcore, Creatures finds the band exploring a more gothic sound. With lots of breakdowns, reverse drum swells, good cop/bad cop vocals, and bass bombs, there's a lot about the album that feels pretty much by the book. Where Motionless in White are able to make it interesting is in the use of their electronic elements. Rather than going for the usual dance-pop sound, the band uses their synthesizers to create a dark and uneasy atmosphere. This blend of the frightening and the familiar gives Creatures not only the ability to draw fans in with something they'll immediately click with, but which will keep them coming back for another helping. ~ Gregory Heaney 1 Immaculate Miconception2 We Only Come Out at Night3 London in Terror4 Abigail5 Creatures6 Cobwebs7 Com Part II8 Count Choculitis9 City Lights10 Puppets (The First Snow)11 Undead Ahead12 Scissorhands (The Last Snow)
