Baleful Creed

Baleful Creed is a gritty stoner/doom metal band hailing from Belfast, Northern Ireland, formed in 2009. Known for their thick, groove-laden riffs and bluesy undertones, the band—comprising Fin Finlay (guitar), John Allen (bass), Dave Jeffers (drums), and Stephen Fleming (vocals/guitar)—mixes Sabbath-inspired heaviness with a dash of Southern rock swagger. They dropped their self-titled debut album in 2014, followed by the "Killing Time" EP in 2017, earning a loyal following in the UK and European underground scenes. Recent releases like "The Lowdown" (2020) and "Seismic Shifter" (2021) showcase their knack for chunky, head-nodding hooks and no-frills rock authenticity. Whether onstage at festivals like Desertfest or in the studio, Baleful Creed keeps it raw, loud, and unapologetically heavy.
