“Feral feminine cave doom from Portland.”

Creaturess is a conceptual “cave doom” band originating from Portland, Oregon. It is a collaboration between guitarist/composer Jesse Hamlin and singer/guitarist/visionary Joanna Sendejo. Formed in 2023, the project seeks to examine transformation and beauty through the acceptance and internalization of loss, suffering, grief, and the brutality of the natural.

Drawing inspiration from doom metal, black metal, shoegaze, and slowcore, Creaturess fuses traditional heavy sounds with experiential field recording, songwriting, and production processes to capture vulnerability as sound.
