EMPIRES OF EDEN To Enter Studio In January
November 27, 2009EMPIRES OF EDEN, the brainchild of PAINDIVISION/ex-DUNGEON guitarist Stu Marshall, will hit the studio in January 2010 to complete the follow-up to the critically acclaimed debut, "Songs of War and Vengeance".
The next album will include an international all-star lineup of some of metal's most powerful singers, building on the original creative force that made the previous CD a must-hear release of 2009.
Australia's EMPIRES OF EDEN is a collection of melodic power metal that has garnered unanimous praise worldwide. Incorporating huge melodic hooks, blistering guitar performances and a fresh approach to song writing, the debut was a massive success in Japan, released by Rubicon Records in July this year.
The forthcoming opus, with the working title "Silence Obscura", is set to deliver an aggressive and orchestrally focused tour de force, involving material that has be individually crafted to bring out the best of each singer's unique vocal strengths.
Commented Marshall: "With the first album I was lucky enough to feature three incredible voices in Louie Gorgievski (CRIMSON FIRE),Mike Zoias (TRANSCENDING MORTALITY) and Chris Ninni (Sydney session vocalist).
"The act has always had a focus on allowing the singers to compose all of their own lyrical parts and melodies, something that is rare these days when people are involved in projects like these. You do get a sense of what really makes these singers so good and you'll hear a deep range of their talent and soul.
"When formulating this album, I contacted many of the great artists who had influenced and inspired me for the last 20-plus years, and, out of the many I contacted, I was lucky enough to have five confirmed so far. From what I am hearing in these early stages, the concept is showing incredible promise."
More information will be made available soon.
