CREEPER – CRUSHING
CD Edition – 2025
NoLifeTilMetal Records
Texas metal doesn’t beg for attention.
It earns it.
CRUSHING is the latest full-length assault from Dallas/Ft. Worth groove-metal powerhouse Creeper — a massive, riff-driven statement forged in volume, sweat, and years of relentless evolution.
Recorded at MediaTech Institute, House of Wags, and Boot Hill Studios, Crushing was produced by Texas metal heavyweights Kerry Crafton (Rigor Mortis, Devastation, Deadhorse, Warbeast) and Sterling Winfield (Pantera, Hellyeah, King Diamond, Mercyful Fate). The result is tight, punishing, and unapologetically heavy.
Creeper has long been a force in the Texas metal underground, but when the current lineup solidified in 2021, everything locked into place. The chemistry sharpened. The grooves deepened. The songwriting leveled up. What emerged is a groove-driven metal machine with real identity.
Fronted by the commanding vocals of Texx Duncan, driven by the twin-guitar attack of Jimi Fritz and Paul Fritz, grounded by Ian Train’s thunderous bass, and powered by Kurtis Lawrence’s relentless drumming, Creeper delivers a crushing blend of Southern grit, classic metal muscle, and modern aggression.
You’ll hear shades of Pantera’s groove, Sabbath’s weight, Maiden’s precision, and the fury of Slayer and Sepultura — but this isn’t imitation. It’s Texas metal carved from its own foundation.
This CD edition captures every ounce of that power — clear, punchy, and built to hit hard from start to finish.
Producer Kerry Crafton on Crushing:
“CREEPER is a band that I’ve followed and enjoyed for about fifteen years. Previous lineups had great players, but something was missing. When this lineup came together about four years ago, the synergy happened.
With a little grooming and a lot of practice, the songwriting soared. Spending a year recording with Sterling Winfield and myself turned them into a machine. Sterling and I are both proud of this record, and we can’t wait to unleash it.”
If groove, weight, and attitude are what you’re after, Crushing lives up to its name.
Turn it up.
