    Throughout, ‘American Noir’ delivers a vibrant and fitting homage to the recently departed Jim Steinman; the eight tracks harking to his musical opus.

    It broadens and deepens the story that began with that album [Sex, Death & The Infinite Void], acting as a requiem to the alien character of Roe. ... It’s simply eight tracks of lovely, rousing rock opera. Whether you’re after one, the other, or both, you’re sure to be left more than satisfied.

    Despite its brevity, ‘American Noir’ still feels like a truly significant entry in Creeper’s discography. These songs sound truly timeless, exist outside of trend and genre and are instantly recognisable as the work of their creators.

    At times, American Noir sounds like the product of an undead E Street Band, like a strong line of thunderstorms suddenly appearing above "highways jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive."

    Creeper again prove that they're rather unshakeable as a unit, despite losing a member after the last album cycle. It might take some time toCreeper again prove that they're rather unshakeable as a unit, despite losing a member after the last album cycle. It might take some time to come around to, but I'm absolutely all in when they're firing on all over the top cylinders, and making great use of their two incredible vocalists. Ghosts Over Calvary and Midnight are must hears!… Full Review »

    I loved them since their debut album, and they did not manage to disappoint me again! Their ep is for sure one of the best eps of 2021.
