Bio:
Created and formed by the guitarist Mateus Cantaleäno, with Roberto "Bob" Scienza on vocals. Creatures was founded in mid-2019 with the proposal to make heavy metal with hard rock influences. Since then the band has released two singles, the first "Dressed to Die" was released in January 2020 and the second "Lightning in my Eyes" brought the band's first music video in September of the same year. Right now, the band is getting ready for release their first album.
Album:
Creatures were originally formed in the summer of 2019 in the city of Curitiba. Like most places in Brazil, the scene there is dominated by extreme metal. However, there are some small “pockets of resistance” carrying the torch for more of a traditional heavy metal sound. And Creatures (along with a group called Trovão) is one of the most talented of the lot. After having issued a few singles, Bart Gabriel offered the band a deal to release their debut album from 2021 through his former label, Iron Oxide Records. The follow-up »Creatures II« is now due to be released on High Roller Records. »Creatures II« was recorded between September 2024 and March 2025 at Heavy Tron Studio, by Arthur Migotto (Hazy Hamlet). It was produced by Mateus Cantaleano and Migotto. Mateus Cantaleano wrote all the music and lyrics. The line-up on the recording was Marc Brito (vocals), Mateus Cantaleano (guitar), Ricke Nunes (bass), and Sidnei Dubiella (drums). There were also a few special guests, like Caio Vidal on keyboards and Arthur Migotto himself doing some additional vocals. “Musically, I’d say the album is literally a mix of heavy metal and hard rock, with a darker, more evil vibe,” explains guitarist Mateus Cantaleano. “It carries what I believe is the essence of the band – dynamic songs that combine riffs with arpeggios, catchy choruses with darker minor melodies. Something like that, I think.” Creatures were once described as a mixture of Dokken, Ratt and Judas Priest, a description Mateus Cantaleano can live with: “Absolutely, that’s true. Those bands – especially Dokken and Judas Priest – are very important in my life, and I carry their influence, even indirectly, in almost everything I do. Of course, I always aim for inspiration, not copying either of them exactly.” Comparing »Creatures I« and »Creatures II«, the guitar player continues: “I’d say »Creatures II« is a bit heavier, darker, and a more mature album than its predecessor. While the first album was recorded just by me and Roberto, this time we had a full band involved. Both albums share the same essence – very dynamic songs, heavy tracks, power ballads, lots of vocal harmonies, catchy choruses, wild guitar solos, and so on. To me, ‘Beware The Creatures’ is the track that best sums up what I’m aiming for musically with Creatures.”
