[1] The band's personnel includes former members of established heavy metal acts; Lee Morris[2] ex Paradise Lost and guest female vocalist Sarah Jezebel Deva[3] ex Cradle of Filth.

Creation's Tears frontman Brian Eddie Reynolds was one of the earlier pioneers of the death metal scene in Northern Ireland[2] fronting the band Apathy[4] whose "Lack of Emotion" EP[5] featured in Downtown Radio presenter Johnny Hero's NI Chart during the early 1990s in Sunday Life (the biggest-selling Northern Ireland-only Sunday newspaper).

British author, radio DJ and journalist Malcolm Dome has classified the band as "Brit Goth", akin to a fusion of Lacuna Coil and Anathema.

[11] The UK's Terrorizer magazine surmises in their Goth Metal supplement, Dominion Mag, that Methods To End It All is "dark rock 'n' roll"[12] and long-standing Kerrang!

[12] Creation's Tears initially formed in the middle of 2002 in Ballymena, Northern Ireland by Reynolds who quickly recruited former Apathy member Ian Coulter to fill the role of bassist.

[1] 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 heavy metal music fraternity was persisting.

[1][16][21] Creation's Tears has been on hold since 2011 as Reynolds suffered a Brainstem Stroke which caused Stroke-Induced Epilepsy and permanent damage to his central nervous system.
