Reviews CREATION’S END - A NEW BEGINNING - SENSORY
Creation’s End was a new name to me, and one suspects many of you, but the band is comprised of several renowned musicians and is not a group of several unknowns whose demo has caught the attention of a label. Listening to the album without knowing this makes one wonder about the sense of professionalism and smooth delivery, and no wonder since names like Mike Dimeo of Deep Purple and Masterplan and Joe Black of Chris Caffery are involved here.
The band’s sound is a mixture of Dream Theater (the band even features Marco Sfogli of James Labrie’s solo band) and Jorn. There is a progressive element riddled with keyboards and there is a rockier and grittier sound in the album. The former is clear in Of Shadow And Flame and Still Life and the latter is more obvious in Relic. One can hear some delicious Yngwie-esque guitar playing on the album’s opener Of Shadow... or on Creations’ End, the song. The licks really add to the band. Speaking of which, two of the gents have long yummy hair and really look the part. Creation’s End leans on the prog side, but is surprisingly conventional for a Sensory release. One would normally expect whacked out music from this label, which is why in comparison this band is ordinary in style. - Sheila Wes Det
