Creation's Tears is a heavy metal music / Gothic metal band based in Northern Ireland, with some members based in England.

The band's personnel includes former members of established heavy metal acts; Lee Morris ex Paradise Lost and guest female vocalist Sarah Jezebel Deva 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 fronting the band Apathy whose "Lack of Emotion" EP 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).

There is much debate as to the genre of the band. British author, radio DJ and journalist Malcolm Dome has classified the band as "Brit Goth", akin to a fusion of Lacuna Coil and Anathema. Various music publications have also slotted the band into the gothic metal genre. Germany's Legacy Magazine hears elements of thrash metal in the mix. Other publications allude to doom metal influences like My Dying Bride, Opeth, Katatonia and Paradise Lost, while Blistering.com heralds it as being "accessibly morose". The UK's Terrorizer magazine surmises in their Goth Metal supplement, Dominion Mag, that Methods To End It All is "dark rock 'n' roll" and long-standing Kerrang! scribe Steve Beebee hails it as "Dark Metal." The recurring theme is that it Creation's Tears are "versatile", "melodic" and "metal."
