Whoa Ancient Creation is from Kansas City!!! I had no idea anyone else in this god forsaken hell hole liked Prog/Power, and they are playing a show tonight as well might have to check it out.

I think AC could be better than Bonded by Blood, but it is too hard to tell since the quality of recording is so different.

I voted for Bonded By Blood. I didn't really care for the singer from Ancient Creation, so that put me off a bit...just one man's opinion.

Ancient Creation is an amazing live band. I have seem them several time and have never been disappointed. After Checking out Bonded by Blood I became an instant fan. I would be worth the trip to see both of these bands at the same venue!

I like the old-school thrash sound Bonded by Blood has, therefore they got my vote. Ancient Creation was good too but a bit generic for my taste.

First post here.
I play bass for Ancient Creation. I just wanted to say that I listened to Bonded By Blood and they are great. I love bay area thrash (Bonded By Blood is one of my all time favorite albums) and these guys bring it hard.
I would love to get down to Texas and play a show with these guys. Or maybe take a trip to Cali.

Keep it metal,
Andy
