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 band Sativa. 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, 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. Mike decided to part ways after the releases of their first CD "Evolution Bound" releases on now defunkt Melissa Records, leaving the band to search for a new drummer, after a short searth the band found Kevin Keeton formaly of the industrial band Swill and with the new addition of a second guitarist being Maxx Christopher formal lead guitarist and vocalist with the clasicc metal band Graven Image the search was over and Ancient creation was complete. 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, Lizzy Borden, Fight, Trouble and most recently Metal Church, Cellador, Meliah Rage, Manilla Road, ASKA, Leatherwolf, Catch 22, Joey Belladonna and look forward to opening for many more. The band has released one major release with their debut CD out on now defunkt Melissa Records called "Evolution Bound". The Band has currently finished the recording of there second release called "Moonlight Monument" that will be released on the bands new label and longtime supporter of the scene Heaven & Hell Records that the band recently signed with and are proud to become part of their family. The new CD was recorded at Studio City in Kansas City, Missouri using the most up to date Protools and mixed& Produced by Adam Lichtenaur and Ancient Creation and then sent to be mastered at Nomad Recording Studio in Texas by Gary long (King Diamond, Solitude Aeturnus).

Ancient Creation's live performances are filled with raw energy, fast crazy guitar work, clear powerful vocals, and thunderous drums.
