Progressive metal faction CREATION’S END are preparing to kick off their next leg of live appearances next week, this time in the form of the first Uniting The Powers Of Metal Tour.
Bringing together several like-minded forces within the North American metal scene, Uniting The Powers Of Metal’s first official tour will showcase Artizan, Seven Kingdoms and Widow as well as CREATION’S END for a co-headlining six-date East Coast tour, where all four acts will trade headlining spots show-to-show. The festivities officially kick off this Tuesday, August 16 at Manhattan’s Sullivan Hall, with shows in North Carolina, Georgia and Florida to follow, including a special one-off headlining appearance by Adrenaline Mob — featuring Mike Portnoy (ex-Dream Theater) and Russell Allen (Symphony X) — this Sunday at Jaxx in Springfield, Virginia.

CREATION’S END features guitarists Rudy Albert (ex-Zandelle) and Marco Sfogli (James LaBrie Band), drummer Dario Rodriguez, vocalist Mike DiMeo (ex-Masterplan, ex-Riot) and bassist Joe Black (Chris Caffery, ex-Zandelle). The incredibly layered, explosive eight tracks unleashed on the band’s critically acclaimed 2010 Sensory Records-released debut album, A New Beginning showcase the band’s versatility, incorporating powerful melodies and dark, groove-laden displays of crushing, progressive metal. The band are currently constructing their anticipated follow-up to the album now, which will be released sometime in 2012.
