Creepy Willie, a macabre-themed progressive metal band from Romania!

2 min read

Creepy Willie releases their debut full-length album entitled “The Creepy Willie Show”, after releasing a music video (Hack Slash Rebirth) and two lyric videos (Cannibal BabiesLa Llorona) as singles earlier this year. 

“The Creepy Willie Show” is a concept album, centered around a sinister circus, with blood-chilling performances and exhibits. Each song from the album represents a separate performance within the circus. Before each song, Creepy Willie himself talks to the spectators, presenting and at the same time warning them of the thrilling demonstrations that are about to take place. 

Among the creatures and apparitions presented in “The Creepy Willie Show” the spectators will witness a somewhat friendly Zomberman who enjoys afterlife dancing, La Llorona, a spirit whose unachievable purpose is finding her lost children, and the deceptively adorable Cannibal Babies who, despite their lovable appearance, have a frantic and glutinous taste for fresh blood.

“The Creepy Willie Show” can be enjoyed as a single, ample musical performance with a highly theatrical character. It is wild and eccentric, fusing genres ranging from blues and rock’n’roll to stoner, djent and death metal – and there’s also a lullaby in there.
