A dark undercurrent pulls in Creepoid’s music. As electric guitars whine along the exterior issuing a warning cry, Sean Miller’s menacing vocals lay their groundwork placing the listener in a troubled reality. However, these somewhat dreary circumstances also provide comfort, hitting home, in the earnest plucked straight from the gut approach, which they exude. The guitars thrust forward in a jaded screaming manner as the drums continuously crash. When Miller and Anna Troxell’s vocals combine the resulting force is an eerie calm. Creepoid, who recently re-released their first LP Horse Heaven on No Idea Records that also included their debut EP Yellow Life Giver, shifts the lens digging at the dungeon-like core emerging with songs that much like their guitars deeply resonate with brutal honesty.
