Creepmime

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Creepmime were a Dutch melodic death metal band, with some doom influences. The band was formed in 1991, in Leiden, eventually settling on the line up, with Rogier Hakkaart, Andy Judd, Marja Koelewijn) en Gerrit Koekebakker. In February 1992, the band records a doom metal demo titled Anthems for a Doomed Youth, which leads to a record deal with Mascot Records. In August 1993 after replacing the rhythm section, the debut album Shadows is recorded which includes more death metal influences. Creepmime plays as a support of Cynic in the Netherlands and tours through the Netherlands with Cynic.

In 1994 and 1995 more line-up changes follow, but in August 1995 Creepmime is ready to record the second album, Chiaroscuro. This album shifts to a more melodic and technical death metal style. The release is followed by a European tour with countrymates Sinister, followed by a Dutch tour with Threnody and Ministry of Terror. After the departure of Andy Judd, the band falls apart.

In 1997, Giezen, Van der Graaf en Brama, restart Creepmime and start writing new songs. However due to a knee problem of the drum, the band collapses again in 1998.
