CRETUS Release Official Video For "Darkness Bites"

Louisiana masked metallers, Cretus, have released an official video for “Darkness Bites”, featured on their debut EP, Dux Mea Lux, out now via Pavement Music.

Cretus’ music is hard-hitting thrash metal at its core; mathematically-precise riffs, dive-bombing guitar solos, and thundering drums pummel the listener, but their compelling melodies and bizarre pop sensibility make each song from forthcoming EP, Dux Mea Lux, subtly addictive.

Dux Mea Lux tracklisting:

“Price Of Immortality”
“Darkness Bites”
“What I Will”
“The Leader”
“Little Children”

While it is unknown exactly when or where Cretus formed, they began publicly spreading their message through music in 2014, with the group rapidly gaining strong support after their first show opening for legendary metal band Down in New Orleans.

Devout followers of Cretus pack into shows wearing the group’s signature black masks and cloaks, bobbing their heads in support as hypnotic lights pulse and dense fog surrounds them, becoming a raving heavy metal congregation unable and unwilling to escape the dark energy emanating from the speakers. Multi-sensory performance rituals such as sacrificial demonstrations and strange pagan rites add an even more ominous tone to the already frightening spectacle of the four masked figures destroying the stage.
