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 recorded a doom metal demo titled Anthems for a Doomed Youth, which lead to a record deal with Mascot Records. In August 1993 after replacing the rhythm section, the debut album Shadows was recorded which included more death metal influences. Creepmime played in support of Cynic in the Netherlands and toured through the Netherlands with Cynic.

In 1994 and 1995 more line-up changes followed, but in August 1995 Creepmime was ready to record the second album, Chiaroscuro. This album shifted to a more melodic and technical death metal style. The release was 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 fell apart.

In 1997, Giezen, Van der Graaf en Brama, restarted Creepmime and started writing new songs. However, due to the drummer suffering a knee injury, the band collapsed again in 1998.
