BIO



Troy, NY, neatly nestled in the Hudson Valley, Collar City and home of Uncle Sam, is where Re-Creation hails from. Located on the armpit of the USA, the city of Troy and its surrounding cities has not only inspired the people of old, but inspires the band as well.



Re-Creation entwine a rare combination; they are a metallic maelstrum, dabbed with a King Crimson-like progressive asymetry, topped with a bit of melody. Vocally speaking, with Jim's guttural growls, mixed with Chris' lower/higher Nevermore-like power-heaves, there's a rare vocal chemistry here. Re-Creation emote visions of suffering, myth, death, and strength through pain.



Propelled by guitarist Jim Abbott since 1996, and with the addition of Attica's ex-lead vocalist, Chris Grennon, behind the drums, and Mike Doten on bass, they have established a death/thrash, progressive style, but gave it a breath of new life.



They received rave reviews in Europe, and were well accepted in Puerto Rico. Keep an eye out.

For a three-piece band, Re-Creation pushes the limits of extreme sonic density, filling in where all the empty gaps could have been. Their music, whether hostile or feral, whether melodic or eloquent, or whether its dreamy or bluesy, demands to be hearkened. No one member is the leader or in the spotlight in this band; they are a bond, three units weaved into one, a unit that has re-created a chemistry all their own.



Re-Creation back up their live invasion with shows that has dominated a very skeptical, wary-eyed local audience. Are Re-Creation old school? New school? Are they death metal? Dark metal? Progressive metal? Thrash? Optimistic? Answer is: all of the above. One thing's for sure, the skepical, wary-eyed audience gets a pit going for them, and if they don't, they can only gaze at Re-Creation in awe.



NOTE: Keep an eye out for Re-Creation's 2nd CD, sometime in 2008. The band is highly considering recording at Hollow Studios. The new songs are quite an evolution over the 1st self-titled CD. Hear for yourself this summer.
