Philadelphia, PA Metal outfit, Upon Creation are proud to release their 3rd EP, “Watching Myself Sleep”. “Watching Myself Sleep” shows the trio further maturing as a band and solidifying their sound in an otherwise repetitive sounding genre.

The latest effort was recorded over the last few years when members Habtu (Vocals), Sansores (Guitar) and Sullivan (Bass) were in the same city.

Regarding the EP’s name, Habtu said, (the title track) “‘Watching Myself Sleep’ is referencing a dream I had about me dying and my spirit trying to revive me. In the dream, my spirit gave up trying to save my own life so I just accepted the fact that I was dead”.

Sullivan said, “There’s something about this EP that brings me back to when we were first starting and everything we did was heavy, new and exciting. We’ve known each other for almost 25 years and have been playing together since ’98. John’s musicianship continues to evolve and slay, Yohannes’ storylines remain dark as ever but have clearer messages to the audience and it was cool for me to switch it up and take on the roll as bassist this time around.”

“Watching Myself Sleep” will be available on all major digital retail and streaming platforms, Friday, January 8th, 2021 via Wreckin’ Joint Recordings. For more Upon Creation releases and info check out www.wreckinjoint.com ... more

Begin with the end in mind Was that the thought of you and I? So surreal, so perfect I should have guessed it was a lie I’ve become more than a man Living among these sheep Living among these flies Only to see the flood of bodies In your wake Excuse me I thought you said “forever" Too late to reconsider Your options There is no Time Why Don’t You Just Die There is no time Run if you choose to I’ll be here waiting for you Now just open the door It's time It's time For the big surprise It’s…

I always knew this day would come The day that I would see you Let it be known that I am not your biggest fan but your biggest mistake Even if we were to make amends I would still hate you I was such a burden Is that why you didn't care? Fed to the wolves Nothing was spared No scraps left behind Don't bother helping me now I’ll be fine without you I thought you were so … …perfect but I guess that was always your flaw Being perfect isn't a good look for you anymore At least now You know my voice Now you'll here me every-time i say Fuck you You'll know I wasn't the one who Didn’t care You'll know I wasn’t the one who Didn’t care Didn’t care You’ll know You’ll know You’ll know

Inhale my breath Take away my demons Make me believe in you again Make me see what I left behind Make me see why I failed again In turn I’ll keep my In turn I’ll keep my tongue from slashing your wrist From killing From killing your ego Again Let this be a lesson to you I wont die so easily I wont let this be the last you hear from me Please do me the honor Let me watch you die I wished for your demise I wished for this day to come
