Creature - Ex Catedra CD
Hailing from the murky depths of Brittany, CREATURE has been working actively at crafting some of today's most exciting, forward-thinking and unique metal music. With already two self-released albums under its belt (“Inquiétudes” in 2018, and “Contes Funèbres” in 2019) in less than a year of existence, the band returns with a new full-length, “Ex Cathedra”, an eccentric work exuding art and culture from each groove.The project of sole member Raphaël Fournier, CREATURE is a mighty, undefinable and slightly worrying beastly entity with ever shifting and blurry contours which leave the flabbergasted listener in awe. Rooted in the avant-garde and symphonic black metal from the 90s as much as it is in classic epic prog, CREATURE's music is intrepid and elegant, not bound by any genre, rule nor norm.
