About Creation's Tears
Creation's Tears are based in Belfast. Fronted by Brian Eddie Reynolds, the band also featured members of Paradise Lost and Cradle of Filth.
Formed initially in the summer of 2002, it wasn’t until 2010 that Creation's Tears finally aligned their focus as a unit. Though, not a Death Metal band, the first incarnation of Creation's Tears made a controversial yet impactful debut appearance at Belfast’s Rosetta Bar, (30th August 2002) playing support to Death Metal heavyweights Vader, Krisiun & Decapitiated. While the debut gig heralded some local success for Creation's Tears, they continued to play only a mere handful of gigs thereafter and failed to produce any recorded material at that time. Owing to the relocation of two band members, the band were on haitus between 2005 and 2009.
In early 2009, Creation's Tears frontman, Brian “Eddie” Reynolds began to pen new material and with the support of lifelong friend, Ian Coulter (bass 2002-2005 & 2009-2010), the vision to reactivate the band was borne. For the months that lay ahead, the primary focus was on the creative process. In late 2009, around a dozen songs had been completed by Reynolds but the more pressing issue of finding a suitable drummer within Northern Ireland’s small local metal fraternity was persisting. Reynolds knew however, that there was one drummer from amongst his own collection of favourite CDs, who would not only be competent but most complimentary to the music. With clarity in his vision, Reynolds set about tracking down one of his heavy metal icons of the 1990s in what seemed like an outrageous attempt to find the right line-up. Bring a fan of Paradise Lost's Draconian Times, Reynolds decided to enlist former Paradise Lost drummer Lee Morris for the Creation's Tears album Methods To End It All. This would be Morris's first heavy metal project since leaving Paradise Lost in 2004. Just before recording began in January 2010, bassist Coulter announced he would be leaving the band for personal reasons but still played on the album. Reynolds handled all guitar parts for the album. The recording process involved three producers: Mark Mynett for drums in England, and Jens Bogren and David Castillo for guitars and vocals in Sweden. Sarah Jezabel Deva made a guest appearance on the track "Creation's Tears." The album's release was delayed due to Reynolds contracting food poisoning. It was eventually released on October 4, 2010, through Cure For Poison Records. Creation's Tears has been inactive since 2011 due to Reynolds's health issues, including a stroke.
