notes
Ancient Creation is Heavy Metal in its purest form, with no concern for being modern or trendy. The only goals are to push the limits of their ability and create great progressive old school power metal. Guitarist Peter Nisenkier decided to form a band that would combine elements of Power Metal, complex song arrangements, aggressive drums, powerful vocals and experimental sounds such as world music. First to come aboard was bassist Andy Critz, a former band mate of Pete's from the days of Sativa. Guitarist and friend Jason Johnson was quickly brought in due to his ability to handle the complexity of the music. The next few months were spent on song writing and then it was time to find a drummer . After trying out many drummers the band lucked out and found Mike Burns, formerly of Parallels, another local progressive metal band. Sharing a love for powerful technical Heavy Metal , the music started to come together easily. After experimenting with different styles and working with various vocalists, it became clear that this band was turning into a no frills classic Power Metal band. After another short search the band came across vocalist Steve Bentley, just back from doing the Milwaukee Metalfest with his former band Darkside. Steve had been looking to do something different and fell right in with the feel and the Power that Ancient Creation was becoming. Now that all the pieces of the puzzle are in place Ancient Creation intends to leave their mark on a scene that has been long gone. As individuals they have toured the entire United States and long to do so again with this Dark Powerful Band. They have opened for several national bands such as Strapping Young Lad, Body Count, Helstar, Lacuna Coil, Cage and most recently Metal Church, Cellador, Meliah Rage and look forward to opening for many more. The band has released one major release with their debut CD out on Melissa Records called " Evolution Bound" . They have expanded their touring to pretty much anywhere that they are wanted, be it the Midwest, Coast to Coast or traveling abroad to distant lands..Ancient Creation's live performances are filled with raw energy, fast crazy guitar work, clear powerful vocals, and thunderous drums. They are looking forward to showing the world what they have to offer and for the fans to remember the Dark Power Metal of Ancient Creation.
“Evolution Bound” the first album of Ancient Creation opens with powerful riffs and does not take long to be able to bring home the Metal. This technical power metal with thrashinvloedin and progressive keys as only Americans will make..

With their new album “Evolution Bound” the five guys from Missouri / Kansas try to show the world that Heavy Metal doesn’t need to sound modern or trendy in anyway. They just make it all become clear, that this is Heavy Metal in its purest form !!!

The Element, That makes them distinguish from other bands of this genre is that they don’t simply pay tribute to the bands that have influenced them, but their sound has “Personality”. Moreover their compositions are complicated and have changes that catch you unprepared.

Ancient Creation gives you a whole Power Metal approach with a Heavier Metal style reaching the speed metal realm at times. That old school feel gives you feeling like you just want to turn up the radio and drive a thousand miles with the windows wide open.

author: HansWelcome to the musical vision of Ancient Creation - heavy metal in its purest form, with no concern for being modern or trendy. The only goals for this five-piece act from the heart of Missouri are to push the limits of their ability and create great old school power metal with a progressive slant. And I will call it technical power metal on a high level. Combine Iron Maiden with Zero Hour and (the early) Fates Warning on XTC and there you have Ancient Creation. Other influences are Nevermore, Arch Enemy, Metal Church and a lots of other great bands. The opening song The Brotherhood is the right statement for the rest of the album. Powerful drums, great guitar riffs and solo’s and a great voice by Steve Bentley. American power metal at its best. Knowing that American power metal is more agressive than the European style, I think you can guess what you’ll get from Ancient Creation. The second song Taste of Mortality is full of great guitarwork, excellent solo’s and this song is also introducing ‘the sporadically grunts’ which fits wonder well good when they are used on this album. The next song Carrion – The Horde is the longest track on the album and I would suggest that you’ll listen to these three songs so you will know what you will get on the other six tracks. I can talk about the other tracks, but you will have to read the same as above: great vocals, overwhelming guitars and powerful bass and drums. So I’m very happy with the ‘birth’ of again another power metal band from the USA.
