"I the Creator"

I worked with this Freeport band for the gig I set up at Mary's Place on March 25. Though the gig was not a success in terms of turnout, I, The Creator really managed to impress me with their professionalism and good attitude. I saw them play at a Rock Hollow gig earlier and knew they could deliver, but they seemed even more focused this time around despite the lack of people. They do indeed play that modern style of metalcore which is all the rage for "all-ages" gigs and while I am deathly sick of that style, it can still be effective when done right. The band mixes influences from Iron Maiden style twin guitar melodies to classic melodic death metal to brutal breakdowns ala Hatebreed to dissonant math-metal like Meshuggah. The breakdowns are more original and effective than what you get from most kid bands and the lead vocals are outstanding, coming from a guy with a lot of range who can switch styles on a dime. A lot of it is still overly familiar and the goofy ironic song titles like "Where All the White Women At?" and "Narcoleptic Scuba Diver" went out of fashion around 2004, but remember, these guys are YOUNG and got plenty of time to work on their style. I can't deny they put a lot of thought into their compositions and their execution is excellent.

Also, they didn't blow the gig off even though they could have and they looked at it with a good sense of humor. I would really hope they keep it together (unlike 90% of local bands) and continue to grow. - Dr. Abner Mality


"Freeport's Finest"

"Music is big around these parts. But there's a few musicians that catches my eye. ...The next is a local band of brutal thugs. I, the Creator! Personally, I'm a fan. Their shows are energetic, the fans are die-hard, and they're music is on par with mainstream, if not better. The perform at a boring community college battle of the bands and make it exciting! Some credit to I, the Creator and most to Jason Nugent if you guys know what I'm talking about. They have a few shows coming up around the area so keep your eyes peeled. " - The Jounalist
