Creeping Death Sign With BLKIIBLK
Creeping Death have officially signed with BLKIIBLK. This news comes as the band have been working on a new album this year.
Vocalist Reese Alavi commented:
“We’re beyond stoked to join forces with BLKIIBLK. It took very little time to see how hard the label’s camp works for their artists & it couldn’t have come at a better time. We’ve been working hard on LP3 all year, and we can guarantee you – it’s the most Creeping Death record to date. We can’t wait to see what the future holds being a part of the BLKIIBLK team.”
Mike Gitter, global head of A&R for Frontiers Label Group/BLKIIBLK, added:
“BLKIIBLK is proud to be working with the legends of Texan death metal, Creeping Death. They were a band that signaled a shift in the metal landscape as they toured tirelessly alongside the likes of Power Trip, Carcass, and the list goes on. They’ve got the riffs, the heaviness, and a work ethic that’s second to none.”

Emma Ruth Rundle Announces New Album “These Killing Times”, Premieres “Powerless” Video
Emma Ruth Rundle will be releasing a new album, titled “These Killing Times,” on September 18. The effort finds her collaborating with a number of artists including: Jess Gowrie (Chelsea Wolfe, Mrs. Piss), Troy Zeigler, Patrick Shiroishi, Nick Reinhart (Tera Melos), Gina Gleason (Baroness), Marissa Nadler, Lukas Frank (Storefront Church), and Amelia Baker (Cinder Well). An official video for the record’s lead single, “Powerless,” can found below:
Rundle commented on the new song:
“This song was initially titled ‘Noam Chomsky is Dead to Me’ – as his relationship to Epstein and the billionaire class was being exposed – just another massively disappointing headline in a time where we are incessantly confronted with an onslaught of news and headlines which are endlessly demoralizing and dehumanizing.
This song – like most of the songs on ‘These Killing Times’ – is a reaction to the horrors we are seeing laid bare on a daily basis – the clear and painful reality of the myriad injustices levied upon the working class people of earth – from climate collapse to genocide to the miscarriage of justice on a scale- the likes of which we have not seen in our lifetimes- the collapse of empire, the demise of democracy, the erosion of women’s rights and LGBTQIA+ rights and black rights, the attempt to dehumanize immigrants and people of color, the concentration camps in the USA – the list is so long I don’t think I can accurately cover it all here. With ‘Powerless’ – I invoke the hammer; both to destroy and to build – something better. I want people to know they are not alone – they are not insane – I wanted to name the thing that has been causing me so much mental, emotional and spiritual anguish. Sometimes singing – especially repeating phases – can work to fortify one’s self and I think that’s where the bridge of ‘Powerless’ comes in – I refuse to let my agency and resolve become corrupted or diluted by the powers that be and I want others to feel empowered too.”
