"With all this talent it is refreshing to hear that they don't really focus so much on the actual technical wizardry of the musicianship but on the writing of great dark, brooding melodic songs and, with this being their debut, I am happy to say they nailed it." - Hellbound

"With their speed-of-light dexterity and endless dynamics, each of these eight tracks is like hearing the roar of a perfectly tuned Ferrari racing seamlessly through its gearbox." - Exclaim!

"...dark, heavy, brooding, but always melodic, and while the performances of the band members are top notch, the focus here seems to be more on the songs and less on displays of virtuoso capabilities." 4/5 - Sea of Tranquility

"The group works together as a cohesive unit and doing it in this fashion allows all of them to shine as a single entity." - Piercing Metal

"...a work to be experienced and savored. Is it the new beginning of American power/progressive metal?" 4.5/5 - Dangerdog

Considered a progressive/power metal "supergroup" to many, the talented unit called CREATION'S END is the brainchild of years of collaborative writing between guitarist Rudy Albert (ex-Zandelle) and drummer Dario Rodriguez. The duo rounded out the band's stellar lineup for the record with well-known metallers Mike DiMeo, (ex-Masterplan, ex-Riot), Marco Sfogli (James LaBrie Band), and Joe Black (Chris Caffery, ex-Zandelle). The stunning eight tracks these powerhouse musicians have formed on A New Beginning culminate their melodic, progressive, groove-laden, dark and crushing displays of incredible heavy metal into a simply incredible album, produced by John Macaluso (James Labrie Band, Fool’s Game, ex-Ark, ex-TNT, ex-Yngwie Malsmteen) and mixed by engineer Neil Kernon (Queensryche, Yes, Nile, Cannibal Corpse).

"A New Beginning is dark, heavy, brooding, but always melodic, and while the performances of the band members are top notch, the focus here seems to be more on the songs and less on displays of virtuoso capabilities." 4/5 - Sea of Tranquility

"What the band produces is melodic power-metal that never disappoints or bores. It has a very New York edge to it and there is less of the folky elements that you find in some of the Scandinavian and European releases. Considering what is on show here, it's not surprising that at least one James LaBrie Band (Dream Theater’s front-man) alum is part of the band." - Blogcritics

"One of the very interesting things of Creation’s End is how well all musicians come together in crafting very good sounding (and elaborate) songs that keep listeners engaged." - Infernal Masquerade

CREATION'S END Debut Album Due In November Via Sensory Records

CREATION’S END is the visionary collaboration between guitarist Rudy Albert (ex-Zandelle) and drummer Dario Rodriguez. The duo have been playing music together since 1999 in various capacities, and as they grew tighter in their playing, began to focus on writing original material. The nature of these songs evolved from simple metal tunes in the early years to more complex and mature compositions.

After a short period of time, Rudy and Dario decided that the time was right to record and release their ever-expanding music the right way. With a newly renovated studio and producer John Macaluso (James Labrie Band, Fool’s Game, ex-Ark, ex-TNT, ex-Yngwie Malsmteen) on board, Rudy and Dario set out to record eight reworked versions of songs that appeared on their early demos, which we now have in our hands as the debut album from CREATION'S END. They also recruited several other well established musicians to round out the lineup, including Mike DiMeo, (ex-Masterplan, ex-Riot), Marco Sfogli (James LaBrie Band), and Joe Black (Chris Caffery, ex-Zandelle).

This past summer the band decided to have world famous engineer Neil Kernon (Queensryche, Yes, Nile, Cannibal Corpse, etc) mix their debut masterpiece, which was dubbed A New Beginning. This flooring debut album is set to be unleashed on November 9, 2010 via New Jersey-based prog metal outfit Sensory Records, and culminates everything the creative duo envisioned since the very beginning; a melodic, progressive, groove-laden, dark and crushing display of incredible heavy metal.

A New Beginning Track Listing:

1. Of Shadow And Flame

2. World Holocaust

3. Hollow

4. Dissociate

5. Still Life

6. Forsaken

7. Relic

8. Creation's End
