Kansas, Missouri based Ancient Creation's second full length album "Evolution Bound" is brought out by Butch record label Melissa Records and i'm completely knocked out, overwhelmed...totally satisfied over the entire line. At this own moment, i will exclaim "Evolution Bound" as my absolute favourite US Metal abum of the year 2007!! The Ancient Creation line-up exists of ex-Darkside / The Days Of Sativa and Parallels members...i'm not familiar with these bands but all the magnificent duties offered on "Evolution Bound" to bring me in a very pleasant and joyful environment. Once again, my decision is certain...BEST US METAL ALBUM OF 2007!  

To define this awesome release, we have to go mainly back in time to the almighty 80s Metal scene. When i hear a band like Ancient Creation, I must think immediately of greats like Helstar (albums: "Distant Thunder", "Remnants Of War", "Nosferatu"), Metal Church ("Metal Church"), Oliver Magnum, Attacker (album: "Second Coming"),... Also brilliant US Metal outfits such as Onward, Cypher Seer, New Eden ("Through The Make Believe"), Destiny's End ("Transition"),...to do my memory freshen up! Singer Steve Bentley has the perfect voice for this type of music. Not high-pitched and original as he is...Steve's the right person on the right place! Both axemen Peter Nisenkier and Jason Johnson delivering the best of the best...oh my goodness, is this for real or am i dreaming?! A Lot of power, neckbreaking rhythms, excellent tempo changes and when they start dueling each other...all hell breaks loose...in one word AMAZING!  Fans of guitar gods like Joe Stump, Marty Friedman, Rusty Cooley (Outworld),...this is your alley too! Andy Critz' bass guitar roars very powerful and handled with plenty of technical skills. The one who gives the whole package even more craft is drummer Mike Burns.
