As Texas death metal juggernaut Creeping Death prepares to release their anxiously anticipated “Boundless Domain” LP on June 16th, 2023, via MNRK Heavy, today the band announces the two-part Boundless Domain Summer 2023 tour.
Early 2023 saw Creeping Death travel overseas to the UK and Europe with Revocation and Goatwhore, and the band is currently out on a month-long North American tour supporting Carcass, Municipal Waste, and Sacred Reich which ends this Sunday in Los Angeles, California.
Before the current tour is even over, the band today announces the Boundless Domain Summer 2023 tour; a two-pronged venture which will see them joined by two different groups of support. Part 1 of the tour is set to begin in San Antonio, Texas on June 16th – the day the new LP sees release – and will run through the Western half of the US, ending July 1st in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Creeping Death will be joined by Year Of The Knife, Fleshrot, and Saintpeeler for Part 1.
Following a quick breather, Creeping Death will head back out, launching the Boundless Domain Summer 2023 Part 2 run on July 10th in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This leg of the tour will see the band assaulting the Eastern half of the country through July 21st, ending in Fort Worth, Texas. Part 2 will see the band flanked by Enforced (July 12th – July 16th), Upon Stone, and Saintpeeler.
Comments guitarist Trey Pemberton: “We’re super stoked to finally play these new songs live! Especially with such sick lineups for each leg”.

Creeping Death is on a quick and furious ascent from the underground. The Texas death metal crew repeatedly delivers a relentless bludgeoning summoned from the furthest reaches of the genre’s past, present, and future. A triumphant celebration of the style itself, the Lone Star State fivesome whips up gruesome riffage and Southern grooves with an improbable cathartic glee.
Creeping Death summons a vibrant sound that is somehow both familiar and fresh. Their initial outburst, 2016’s three-song Sacrament Of Death, introduced them to death and thrash metal audiences, followed two years later by the “Specter of War” EP, and the following year saw the release of their debut LP. 2021’s “The Edge of Existence” EP further demonstrated the power, fury, and revelry at the heart of their identity. Tours with High On Fire, The Acacia Strain, Rotting Out, Terror, and The Warriors have spread the Creeping Death message. Crowds succumbed to the group’s combination of endlessly catchy riffage, precise percussion, and storytelling lyrics.
The band’s formula hits perfection with the brilliant Boundless Domain, a sophomore slab of spectacular weight, dimension, and might. Produced by Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz (As I Lay Dying, The Acacia Strain, Underoath), Boundless Domain is a certified ripper, top to bottom. In the wake of the passing of local heroes Riley Gale of Power Trip and Wade Allison of Iron Age, the band — guitarist Trey Pemberton, singer Reese Alavi, bassist Eric “Rico” Mejia, drummer Lincoln Mullins, and guitarist A.J. Ross, III — found themselves digging back into some of their metallic hardcore favorites. Boundless Domain boasts future death metal classics like the super heavy, fast, and groovy “Intestinal Wrap”, which features George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher of Cannibal Corpse. “Vitrified Earth” showcases Creeping Death’s increasing skills at songcraft, most evident with the cadence and phrasing of Alavi’s vocals while never neglecting the sick riffs. Toward the album’s end, there’s even a bit of a spaced-out atmosphere, with guitar effects, harmonies, and heady time signatures.
Line-up:
Reese Alavi – Vocals
Trey Pemberton – Guitar
A.J. Ross III – Guitar
Eric “Rico” Mejia – Bass
Lincoln Mullins – Drums
