CD/DVD Releases: Empires Of Eden - Entering The Studio In Jan 2010!
Empires of Eden will hit the studio in January 2010 to complete the followup to the critically acclaimed debut, Songs Of War And Vengeance.
The next album will include an international all-star line-up of some of metal?s most powerful singers, building on the original creative force that made the debut a must-hear release of 2009.
The brainchild of ex-Dungeon guitarist Stu Marshall, 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 songwriting, 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.
The project?s director, Stu Marshall, says: ?With the first album I was lucky enough to feature three incredible voices in Louie Gorgievski (Crimsonfire), 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.?
The confirmed guests and all remaining mysteries of the album will be revealed in the future, but for now, the one thing that is no secret is that tracking will commence in January.
