Creed is celebrating the 25th anniversary of their iconic album Human Clay with a special Deluxe Edition release, which includes a wealth of new content for fans. The album, originally released in September 1999, is packed with memorable tracks like “Higher,” “What If,” “Are You Ready?,” and the GRAMMY®-winning “With Arms Wide Open.” It propelled the band—composed of Scott Stapp, Mark Tremonti, Brian Marshall, and Scott Phillips—to massive success, cementing their place in rock history.
The new Deluxe Edition of Human Clay is available in both a 2-CD set and digital format. It features a newly remastered version of the original album, along with plenty of bonus material. Highlights include a never-before-heard concert recording from San Antonio, TX in 1999, and six additional digital bonus tracks. These tracks include alternate versions of “Higher” and “With Arms Wide Open,” as well as a live cover of The Doors’ “Roadhouse Blues,” featuring Robby Krieger from The Doors, recorded during Woodstock ’99.
In addition to this, Creed is also releasing a brand new music video for “Are You Ready?,” filmed during their sold-out Summer of ‘99 tour, which is currently thrilling audiences across North America. This tour marks the band’s triumphant return to the stage, with packed venues since its start on July 17th.
“Are You Ready?” is a standout track from Creed’s 1999 album Human Clay. The song, known for its energetic riff and Scott Stapp’s powerful vocals, opens the album with a high-octane vibe that sets the stage for the rest of the record. Its driving beat and memorable chorus have made it a fan favorite, frequently featured in the band’s live performances. The recently unveiled music video for “Are You Ready?” was filmed during the first week of Creed’s Summer of ‘99 tour, capturing the raw energy and excitement of their shows at the time. This video, part of the 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of Human Clay, showcases the band’s dynamic live presence and celebrates the song’s enduring appeal.
Fans can stream or order the Deluxe Edition in various formats, including limited edition coloured vinyl pressings.
