The album spawned three singles, "Abigail", "Immaculate Misconception", and the title track, all three of which had accompanied music videos as well. The album is named in-reference to Motionless in White fans, whom are known, and referred by the band, as "creatures". It is the final release by Motionless in White to include rhythm guitar player, TJ Bell, noting his removal from the group during May 2011.
Background and release information
Creatures was recorded during May of 2010 with producer, Andrew Wade at his recording studio, Wade Studios.[3] Creatures is an album dedicated to Motionless in White's fans, which they call their "creatures." Motionless in White even went as far as letting their fans send in lyrics, which were compiled on the title track; all the lines found in the song "Creatures" (excluding the chorus) are lyrics submitted by fans.[4]
Upon the record's release, it debuted at #6 on the Billboard Heatseeker Chart,[5] and reached #175 on the Billboard 200.[6] The songs "We Only Come Out At Night" and "City Lights" are re-recorded and altered versions of songs from the album version of When Love Met Destruction. On December 21, 2010, a music video was released for the track "Abigail". The music video for the track "Creatures" was released July 7, 2011. It was announced on the 2011 All Stars Tour that the song "Puppets (The First Snow)" would also be released as a single, the music video for it was recorded at a live performance during the tour's stop in Las Vegas on August 21, the same day that guitarist, Ryan Sitkowski was married on.
