Биография

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, As individuals they have toured the entire United States and long to do so again with this Dark Powerful Band.
