Creation's End is a new progressive/power metal band that is the outgrowth of a long-time collaboration between guitarist Rudy Albert (ex-Zandelle) and drummer Dario Rodriguez. Rounding out the lineup with vocalist Mike DiMeo (ex-Masterplan, ex-Riot), guitarist Marco Sfogli (James LaBrie Band), and bassist Joe Black (Chris Caffery, ex-Zandelle), the band worked with producer John Macaluso (who is also drummer for James Labrie Band, Fool’s Game) to rework eight of the demo tracks that Rudy and Dario recorded during 2003 - 2006. The band's debut album, A New Beginning was released at the end of last year via Sensory Records.

The band made their live debut last December at a show at Ace of Clubs and have just announced a headlining show at Sullivan Hall on June 30th prior to heading out on the Uniting The Powers Of Metal 2011 East Coast Tour (tour dates below). The show at Sullivan Hall is all ages (tickets are $10 for 21+ and $15 for under 21) and sharing the bill is New Jersey progressive metallers Suspyre with more bands to be announced shortly.

Set to take place this August, the quick but solid five-date Uniting The Powers Of Metal 2011 Tour brings together some of the finest contemporary progressive and power metal bands in the country including Artizan, Seven Kingdoms and Widow, in addition to Creation's End, and will make stops in some of the premiere heavy metal markets along America's Southeastern coastline.

Additionally, as previously announced, Creation's End are set to perform at the 2011 installment of ProgPower USA in Atlanta, Georgia this September, where they join an outstanding bill including Therion, Sacntuary, Dream Evil, Ihsahn, Mob Rules, While Heaven Wept, Sensory labelmates Haken, and tons more.
