DESIGNING CREATION Join Forces With CLINTON NORRIS For New Single “The Plagues”

Metalcore outfit DESIGNING CREATION return with “The Plagues,” a new single and music video featuring Clinton Norris, best known for his work with AS I LAY DYING during the Shadows Are Security era. The collaboration brings together DESIGNING CREATION's modern metalcore identity with a guest appearance from a vocalist whose contribution to one of the genre's defining periods remains memorable for longtime fans. “The Plagues” puts this connection at the centre of the release, giving the track an additional layer of significance for listeners familiar with the early 2000s metalcore scene.

Norris' involvement is a notable addition, particularly for fans who remember his time with AS I LAY DYING around the release of Shadows Are Security. That era helped establish a sound that would leave a lasting mark on modern metalcore, and his appearance here creates an interesting link between that period and the genre's continuing evolution. Rather than simply leaning on nostalgia, the collaboration brings his voice into DESIGNING CREATION's own musical world.

“The Plagues” arrives alongside a music video that gives the collaboration its visual presentation and introduces the track to a wider audience. Featuring Norris, the release offers a meeting point between different chapters of metalcore, connecting a familiar voice from the genre's past with a band continuing to develop its own place within the heavy music landscape. The guest feature is the clear focal point, making this release particularly interesting for listeners who have followed the scene across generations.

With “The Plagues,” DESIGNING CREATION deliver a collaboration that carries both contemporary relevance and a connection to metalcore history. Clinton Norris' appearance adds a distinctive dimension to the track, bringing his association with the Shadows Are Security era into a new context. The result is a release that should catch the attention of longtime AS I LAY DYING followers as well as listeners discovering DESIGNING CREATION for the first time.
