Damian Hamada's Creatures is an intriguing music project masterminded by the enigmatic Japanese musician and songwriter, Damian Hamada. Best known as the original founder of the legendary visual kei band SEIKIMA-II, Hamada has an enduring legacy within the visual kei and heavy metal scenes in Japan. Damian Hamada's Creatures is a continuation of his visionary approach to music and storytelling, where dark, fantastical themes intersect with hard-hitting rock and metal riffs.

The project's discography reflects a theatrical and conceptual style, with releases such as "運命の支配者" (Unmei no Shihaisya), "The Beginning of the End," and "魔界美術館" (Makai Bijutsukan) that dive deeply into a world of gothic lore and apocalyptic narratives. The works are known for their conceptual unity, often spanning multiple chapters like "旧約魔界聖書 第Ⅰ章" and "旧約魔界聖書 第Ⅱ章" (Kyūyaku Makai Seisho Dai I-Shō and Dai II Shō), which could be likened to volumes in a dark, musical bible. "Angel of Darkness" and "Babel" further express Damian's craft in blending the lines between rock, theatre, and storytelling, solidifying his Creatures as a unique fixture in the music landscape. With a penchant for grandiose performances and elaborate compositions, Damian Hamada continues to captivate audiences with his distinct brand of symphonic and narrative-driven rock music.
