![]() ![]() Transcending Obscurity (Peter Kotikalapudi): You are all part of well-known bands (Origin, Krallice etc.) How did you get together and form the band? Has everyone known each other for a while from being involved in so many different projects? We had the chance to ask some questions about how Crator came together given the busy schedules each of its members keeps, as well as find out more about the process behind the debut. Crator has the darkness and despair that is likely to attract listeners that don’t usually skew towards technical death metal, while still having some of the flashiness that fans of that style want. Plus you have Jason Keyser’s familiar growls that stand above the instrumentals and add even more density, which helps tremendously. The first time through I was focused on the pounding drums and technical meets dissonant feel of the guitar leads, but on subsequent listens I’ve been struck by just how fluid and interesting Colin Marston’s bass work is. Each song is a flurry of fast paced riffing and adventurous bass lines that help to fill out the sound quite a bit, and the more time you spend with this album the more details that pop out at you. But with Crator, it’s clear that they have pushed each other outside of their respective comfort zones and worked to create material that emphasizes darker tonality and atmosphere as much as it does blistering technicality. There is certainly an air of familiarity to ‘The Ones Who Create : The Ones Who Destroy’, as the emphasis on blistering technical riffing and drumming are what these guys do best. Formed by Jeff Liefer ( Tentacles), Jason Keyser ( Origin, ex- Skinless), and John Longstreth ( Origin, Dim Mak, and a whole slew of other important death metal bands over the years) with Colin Marston ( Gorguts, Dysrhythmia) playing bass and working the boards, that wealth of talent is evident throughout. You’re likely to see the New York based band branded as a supergroup, though I prefer to think of them as a group comprised of metal musicians whose other projects I am a big fan of. ![]() It’s just the beginning, there’s a lot that will emerge in the days ahead.Crator’s debut full length ‘The Ones Who Create: The Ones Who Destroy’ completely snuck under my radar when it came out back in September, coming to my attention a little over a month later thanks to a promotional push from Clawhammer PR.
