“Empires of Eden is very proud to have inked a deal with Japanese metal label “Rubicon Music” with an official release date of July 29. The Japanese version of “Songs of War and Vengeance” will include the special Japanese bonus track “Wings of a Dream” and a special track listing.

Received by the metal press as one of the stand-out releases of 09, Empires of Eden‘s debut delivers melodic, aggressive power metal with a return to classic songwriting.
Created as a side project by guitarist Stu Marshall (Paindivision – Ex-Dungeon) EOE features a host of magnificent guest performers that culminates into a powerful and epic metal experience, laden with hooks and face melting shredding guitars.
Empires of Eden is currently negotiating deals for the US and UK.”

For a limited time, you can purchase a signed copy of the album through the band’s Myspace for only US$15 including worldwide postage.

Originally, more than 20 songs were composed for the project. Of these, 11 have been chosen as the absolute A-list, ensuring a compelling listen from the first to the last. One of the standout features of the album is the monolithic ‘Black Endings/Echoes Of Oblivion, a nine-minute, orchestrally-based spoken word epic. Detailing the final days of the world and the rebirth of the human spirit, the piece will place the listener into an atomic wasteland with cinematic clarity and is narrated by acclaimed author Gun Arvidssen.

Soaring vocals and shredding guitars, enhanced by the imposing presence of a 30-piece orchestra, mark Empires as the premier, refreshing, uncompromising release of 2009. The songwriting is second to none, and draws on nothing short of the best talent from many sources in the metal community.

Songs Of War And Vengeance features performances by members of Vanishing Point, Dungeon, LORD, Thundasteel, Cerbeus (Japan) and Argument Soul (Japan), rounding out the global standard of musicianship to be found on this remarkable album. With a project as ambitious as accomplished as this, there is no doubt we are witnessing the birth of a new era in metal.
