Bloodstock Festival Countdown : 30 Bands Not To Miss
25. Creeper - Ronnie James Dio Stage - Saturday early afternoon
Creeper are storytellers and world builders. They have taken the vision of Jim Steinman and transferred it an alternative modern world where vampire ride motorbikes and creatures of the night rule the land. This is teenage angst with bold choruses and technicolour back stories. They inhabit a world with no musical boundaries. It is free for all of emo, soft rock, goth and rock-a-billy. The uniting factor is every track is a solid gold sing along classic. So come embrace the commercialism and enjoy the institution and the cult of personality that is Creeper.
I just love Metal. I love it all. The bombastity of symphonic, the brutality of death, the rousing choruses of power, the nihilistic evil of black, the pounding atmospherics of doom, the whirling time changes of prog, the faithful familiarity of trad, the other worldlyness of post, the sheer unrefined power of thrash. I love it all!
