EDENBRIDGE Parts Ways With Guitarist, Seeks Replacement

September 26, 2007

Austrian symphonic metal band EDENBRIDGE has issued the following update:

"Robert Schoenleitner is not able to continue in EDENBRIDGE due to his profession which doesn't go along with the touring plans of the band. For your application as a guitar player please send a mail with your curriculum vitae, photos, mp3s and/or videos to [email protected]."

As previously reported, the orchestra recordings for the new EDENBRIDGE album will take place in Prague on October 12. EDENBRIDGE will be supported by the 65-piece Czech Film Orchestra (consisting of musicians from the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and the Czech State Opera Orchestra). The orchestra, which was previously involved with recordings for renowned Hollywood productions, will be heard on nine out of ten songs plus the intro. Lanvall's (guitar, keyboards) orchestral arrangements were recently put into the final score by famous conductor/composer/accordion virtuoso Enrique Ugarte.

Songtitles set to appear on the new EDENBRIDGE CD include "Undying Devotion", "Fallen from Grace", "Place of Higher Power", "Whale Rider" and "Remember Me".

EDENBRIDGE's rarities/"best of" compilation, entitled "The Chronicles of Eden", was released on June 1. The set was released as a double-CD and limited double-digipack. Disc One contains three new, previously unreleased songs, all Japanese and European bonus tracks and songs that were included on all out-of-print singles. Disc Two includes a "best of" selection out of the five released studio albums.

EDENBRIDGE's fifth album, "The Grand Design", was issued in the U.S. on January 30 via Napalm Records. The follow-up to 2004's "Shine" was recorded at The Farpoint Station studio in Austria and the Thin Ice facility in England with THRESHOLD mastermind Karl Groom.
