Newcastle metalcore quartet Creak
share new single ‘Doomed’
David Lynch-inspired music video out now
Newcastle metalcore outfit Creak have shared their new single ‘Doomed’. A lyrical reflection on trauma and family illness, the track blends chaotic dissonance and a frantic vocal delivery with eery, atmospheric soundscapes. Directed by Zak Pinchin, the music video was inspired by David Lynch‘s cinematography and visual aesthetic.

Vocalist Jack Dunn comments: “Lyrically, ‘Doomed’ is based around the trauma of having a family member be diagnosed with a serious illness, and the aftermath of facing such a difficult situation. For me personally it relates to my own mother being diagnosed with cancer and the hole I fell into around the time I found out. During that time period it really felt like everything around me was falling apart, and that my world was ending.”
“We know family illness is something a lot of people have had to face, and we wanted to try and express some of those harder feelings that come with that process to show people they’re not alone with how they are feeling or what they are going through.”
“Conceptually and visually, the song was inspired by a lot of arthouse horror films, and video games. We were watching a lot of David Lynch films such as Eraserhead, and his short films, and we really thought that the hopeless and desperate feel of those related to what we where trying to put across. Other than that, games like Silent Hill, and shows such as Neon Genesis were big inspirations for us during the writing period and when it came to putting all of the pieces together.”
Hailed by Kerrang! Radio‘s Alex Baker as “one the most exciting heavy bands on planet Earth right now”, Creak are Newcastle’s newest offering of nu-metal infused metalcore. The chaotic four-piece brings unbridled energy, and a barrage of eerie soundscapes together in an onslaught of sound akin to the likes of Vein, Oceans Ate Alaska and Alpha Wolf. The band have spent the past few months touring relentlessly, appearing at 2000 Trees, UK Techfest and Burn it Down Festival, as well as supporting the likes of God Complex, Palm Reader and Graphic Nature. Creak look to kick off a very busy 2023 with their new single ‘Doomed’.
