ANCIENT CREATION

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. After a short run with Jason on guitar Ancient Creation has added a new member to the force with the addition of Ryan Bender to the mix, a more powerful guitar style and the final piece. 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 .....
