FDJ (Desert Psychlist) This how i like my shit .... Low slow and monolithic refrains driven by powerful steady rhythms, vocals are pretty cool too.

tOm G Had the split with COM from years ago, had to complete the discography today. Opening track slays, worth it on that one alone, the rest of the record is a bonus! Favorite track: (It Had Neither Fins Nor Wings) Nor Did It Writhe.

Justin@BlindMouse I made it almost to the end of the first track before I purchased the entire discography!! Low, slow and some real fuckin’ interesting monolithic mayhem along the way. Explore Deer Creek for yourself and see where you end up.

Mindless fools are certain to their graves Bow in line for precious Kool Aid I CAN’T LEAVE, YOU CAN’T STAY LOST SANITY, NO SAVING GRACE Craven lies are all you ever trade The deadly poison we all must abate Trapped in your embrace Pulled beneath the waves Drowning in your arms Fuck you all the same So, you think you know this road? Well, I’ve seen it all before Answers, no doubt, predictable No surprise, you stupid fucks can’t help us now I’M TERRIFIED, SCARED FOR YOU IF THE END IS HOME, COULD WE BE SO WRONG? Trapped in your embrace Pulled beneath the waves Drowning in your arms Fuck. You... All, what fills your empty brains? Fear, thanks to your selfish aims How long ‘til the consequence is killing me? That’s right, we need to trust your moral clarity

I turned away Blacken the skies You are the one I love Under her spell Under her spell You made me more Than I should’ve been Your cherished love won’t fade Night turns to day Night turns to day Peace on earth good will towards men Give it away never save it ‘til the end Take the hand of that beautiful girl Take her by the hand and show her ‘round this world LOST IN YOUR EMBRACE LOST IN YOUR EMBRACE Blessed the meek shall inherit the earth Love your friends while they’re on this dirt Take the hand of that beautiful guy Open his eyes to the Southern Sky LOST IN YOUR EMBRACE LOST IN YOUR EMBRACE

Unending long fall Down through the ground She turned around Slowly snuffed it out In my body For nobody LIFE IS WHAT WE MAKE OF IT AND CHOICE IS BY SELECTION OPPORTUNITIES TO CHOOSE UNFORTUNATE DECEPTION IS IT REALLY WORTH YOUR TIME? IT’S A MATTER OF PERCEPTION ALL THAT’S LEFT IS EMPTINESS AND DEALING WITH REJECTION Severed, Futile, Broken Life It’s too late A faded smile The exit tears ripping me You never knew why I hate you The damage I’ve done, it lingers like flies Close the lid down, be sure that this dies I hear the dirt, it’s piling up high Muffling sounds of our last goodbye

It's Rotten 04:25
Can you smell it? The air tastes of blight The cold wind froze my bones A broken porch light Among the vermin I roam ‘Neath the veils of gloom and hate Rotten corpses litter my home WE’RE CHOKING ON THE AIR A taste so foul I regurgitate WE ARE THE DEADLY RAIN TAKE YOUR PILLS ALONE THE HAZE WON’T WISH IT AWAY A POISONED BLISS IS YOUR HOME Surely this place cannot be saved From the putrid children of Earth Ever more diseases and plagues THE WRETCHED ARE A GOD The only hope is total rebirth WILL WE BELIEVE IT NOW? WISH WE COULD SLEEP IT AWAY PRETENDING LIFE IS OKAY A POISONED, STINKING, DEAD HOME

War is coming soon It’s in the sky Inevitable You can’t escape from it now The helicopters They’re swarming overhead War is coming soon It’s in the sky You can’t escape from it now The drones see you Maybe you should send them away? Should we blacken out those lights? Can you hear the drums of... War is on your land They’re burning your crops They’re breaking your fence Better hide the children down in the cellar Better lock that door Better grab your daughters War is on your land Destroying your fields You won’t escape from it now The fire grows close Well, I guess you should’ve sent ‘em away You should’ve blackened out the lights Can you smell the decay of war? Alight the Right’s selfish me, burn the paranoid Greedy corrupted politicians fucking all your wasted lives Merciless our sneak attack razes everything around Fire away! Kill ‘em off! Fire away on, all of them Break your chains, steal away and serve them never more Fight the Right, the Left, the Middle point them all towards the sun Let the idiots sink and drag the cowards underground Fire away! Kill ‘em off! Fire away on, kill ’em all!

"There’s nothing quite like being able to lose yourself in an album of crunchiness, heaviness, and excellence the likes of which simply can’t be swept aside for any reason because of its own power, talent, and tenacity. " – Headbanger Reviews

"Truly magnificient debut full-length."
– Deadly Illness 'Zine

"There is an edginess and slightly off-kilter feel to Deer Creek's doom that sets the band apart from many of their peers and it is something that cannot be easily translated into words." – Chrome Peeler

"Six tracks of doom riffs engorged with sludge and consummated with humid stoner dissonance." – Doom Charts

"Their kind of musical fusion is very atmospheric that relaxes the mind and brings back the 70's vibe. Most of the time, their approach is about looping riffs to put the listener in a trance. It is so relaxing that you can listen to it for hours." -– ENCOMIUM

Recorded and mixed at Crash Pad Studios by Bart McCrorey in August 2021. Mastered by Chris Gresham at Ember Audio Productions in January 2022.
Artwork and layout by Paul Vismara. Songs 1-5 by Deer Creek.
Deer Creek would like to thank everyone, except you.
