This year marks 20 years of Creator-Destructor Records! Itās absolutely unreal to me to still be doing this after two decades, and I couldnāt be more grateful to all the bands and fans of the label for the support over the years. I started Creator-Destructor in my bedroom as a senior in high school in 2006 with the intention of putting out the best metal I could find at the time. Itās been so cool to see the label evolve over the years, and Iām beyond appreciative that itās allowed me to work with the best heavy metal, hardcore and punk rock bands in the world.
I couldnāt do any of this without the Bay Areaās support, and the trust and love of all the bands on the roster around the world. From the bottom of my heart I just want to say THANK YOU all for being a part of this the past twenty years. Cheers, everyone! Hereās to many more years. š¤šāļø

Our tour with @deathbystereoband and @doomsday.ca was absolutely incredible! One of my favorite tours of all time. Playing the West Coast with my AWS family is always so fun, and having our OG friends in DBS as well as my bffs in Doomsday out with us was truly something special. Just landed in Australia, now time for Aus/Japan tours! š„šŖ

So stoked to have finally announced the new @awilhelmscreamofficial album āCheap Heatā out February 27th! My first album since joining the band in 2023, and couldnāt be more excited for everyone to hear this banger of a record. Itās been an epic two years writing and recording this album, and I couldnāt be more hyped to hit the road this year in support of the record with my best friends. See you all soon! š„šŖš„
Special shoutouts to @mikerivkees for crushing it with the new music video, and @tydipaola for doing such an awesome job with the artwork, and @derekdeal for the sick new logo! š¤

What an amazing weekend at RBS Fest! The hardcore scene and community that the Bay Area has built over the years is stronger than ever, and this past weekend was a testament to that. Every band absolutely destroyed, good vibes all around, and we had such an awesome time hanging out all weekend!
Thank you so much to @rnrgpresents and @crossthread_sj for hosting the festival and doing such an incredible job. Thank you to @tenyearwar@acexedge@giftofwang@manicsoprano and so many others for making the weekend so enjoyable and hospitable. Thanks to the family @doomsday.ca and @shootdagnabbit for helping me with the Creator-Destructor booth all weekend. And lastly, thanks so much to everyone who came up to our booth to grab something or to just say hi! We appreciate you. So proud of the Bay. Canāt wait for next year! š„

Latin America was incredible! Some of the craziest shows Iāve ever played, and had a wild ass time with my @awilhelmscreamofficial family. It was so awesome finally getting to visit these cities, and it was so rad to meet all the awesome fans down there.
