Artist Bio
|
In late August 2007 the Rock and Metal world witnessed the birth of EDEN`S CURSE, a multi-national Melodic Metal group with its members spanning four countries and two continents. Formed in January 2006 by chief songwriter and Bassist and Scotsman Paul Logue (David Readman/Cry Havoc) and United States born and bred Vocalist Michael Eden (ex-Seven Ten), these two musicians hatched a plan to form a group utilizing the wonders of modern technology and in particular the world wide web. Armed with nothing but passion, spirit and an uncompromising batch of hyper rock songs they found German guitar virtuoso Thorsten Koehne (Code Of Perfection/ex-Demon Drive/ex-Attack) and English Drummer Pete Newdeck (Steve Grimmett Band/ex-Paul Dianno's Killers/ex-Lionsheart/ex-The Shock), before experienced German keyboard player Ferdy Doernberg (Axel Rudi Pell/Rough Silk/Therion/Taraxacum/ex-Uli Jon Roth) completed the lineup in June 2006.
With heavy weights such as producer and Pink Cream 69 bassist Dennis Ward (Angra/Krokus/Silent Force/Place Vendome/Allen & Lande) secured at the production helm and band colleague David Readman (Pink Cream 69/Voodoo Circle/ex-Adagio), as well as Doogie White (Cornerstone/Empire/ex-Rainbow/ex-Yngwie Malmsteen) and Carsten Schulz (Evidence One/Roger Staffalbach's Angel Of Eden/Midnite Club/ex-Domain) on backing vocals, in their corner, the group signed to AFM Records (Europe), Metal Mayhem Music (USA), Spiritual Beast (Japan) and Dynamo Records (Brazil) and their album not only burst but more like exploded onto the scene in late August 2007 to critical acclaim.
WHAT THE PRESS SAID …
“A kick ass hard rock record that fuses the power of metal with the melody of classic AOR. My favourite record of the year to date and one I have played more than any other this year”. 97/100 – Andrew McNeice, Melodicrock.com (AUS)
“A robustly executed and enjoyable debut”. 8/10 – Dave Ling, Classic Rock Magazine (UK)
“Eden's Curse is a brand new name on the market, but the future is bright for them, no doubt about it. Incredibly catchy melodic songs in the vein of Dokken and Fifth Angel, stellar musicianship, awesome production - that's why I say the self titled debut of Eden's Curse is a must have for every melodic rock fans!”. 10/10 – Gyorgy Danev, Hammerworld Magazine (HUN)
“An album, which should be perfect for all of those who regards "Fireworks" as Bonfire's best works!”. 6/7 - Andreas Schöwe, Metal Hammer (GER)
“A hefty tome of epic power metal pomposity” KKK – Dan Slessor, Kerrang (UK)
“One of the best Melodic Metal albums recently released!”. 9/10 - Bruder Cle, Rock Hard (GER)
“I would personally give this well over 90. This is really good! Worth buying”. 89/100 – BURRN! Magazine (JAP)
“Eden's Curse may be the underdogs on paper, but when you have attributes such as solid songwriting, great melodies and more hooks than a butcher's shop topped off with outstanding musicianship, hard work and talent you can easily be a contender for the heavyweight title. Quite extraordinary”. Dawn Irwin, Fireworks Magazine (UK)
“An impressive album of diverse songwriting which never gets dull or boring - a must buy!”. 9/10 – Jürgen Will , Rock It! (GER)
“An absolute monster of an album, and its effects will be far reaching. Here's to the future of hard rock”. Rob Evans, Powerplay Magazine (UK)
“One of the surprises of the year! It's incredible to think that in these days of limited budgets such an authentic hard rock disc can be made”. Adolfo Torres, This is Rock (SPA)
The group faired extremely well in the 2007 end of year votes throughout the global Rock & Metal press with the highlights being voted Best Newcomer of 2007 by RockUnited.Com readers, Best Metal/Prog Album 2007 by MelodicRock.com and Thorsten Koehne being awarded Guitarist Of The Year 2007, also by MelodicRock.com.
In June 2008 the band released a limited edition rare E.P. “Seven Deadly Sins – The Acoustic Sessions” via their US label Metal Mayhem Music. Featuring seven renditions of tracks from the acclaimed debut in a laid back MTV-Unplugged type setting the E.P. is quickly becoming a collectors item amongst Eden's Curse followers.
WHAT THE PRESS SAID …
“Fans of the debut need this – pure and simple. The band may have stripped back the songs, but not the attitude. A good fun release to occupy our time while we wait for the important album number two”. 90/100 – Andrew McNeice, Melodicrock.com (AUS)
“Nobody has done this so well since Tesla”. Phil Ashcroft, Fireworks Magazine (UK)
Fast forward four months later and EDEN´S CURSE make an unexpected yet triumphant return with their sophomore release “The Second Coming”.
Once again production duties are handled by Dennis Ward as the band have truly "upped the ante" in terms of song writing, performance and production. This is simply going to be a monster of a release that will build upon the success of the self titled debut album. Many in the industry feel this album alone by itself will now cement the arrival of EDEN´S CURSE as truly a name to be reckoned with!
Assisting Michael Eden (Vocals), Thorsten Koehne (Guitar), Paul Logue (Bass), Pete Newdeck (Drums) and Ferdy Doernberg (Keys) in creating this huge wall of sound is none other than the voice of TNT, Starbreaker, Westworld and now a solo artist - Tony Harnell who sings backing vocals on the entire record.
Doogie White once again returns to the aid the “Curse Choir” along with the ever present Carsten Schulz.
Also featured is vocalist Pamela Moore best known for her performance as Sister Mary on Queensrÿche's 1988 epic release "Operation: Mindcrime" and 2006's sequel "Operation: Mindcrime II", who duets with Michael Eden on the incredible Power Metal Anthem "Angels & Demons".
Frontman Michael Eden comments "With the assistance of Dennis Ward, the “Curse Choir” and our personal graphic artist Thomas Ewerhard (Asia/ Edguy/ Avantasia/ Jorn/ Masterplan) and the amazing talent of his photographer of choice Steffi Veenstra (Doro/ Tankard/ Vanden Plas) I believe EDEN´S CURSE are ready to ignite even the biggest melodic naysayer. My boys and I will deliver an ass kicking few have seen in a decade or more for our type of music, and that I'll lay our reputation on. Trust me when I say ... EDEN´S CURSE will deliver the goods like very few can in 2008. There is good, there is great and then there is freaking amazing! You be the judge. The music will do the talkin' in October!!".
Bassist Paul Logue adds “I always said that the success of EDEN`S CURSE would be judged on whether we deliver a second album or not and here we are a mere fourteen months later with a brand studio record! Now it's time to take this to the STAGE! Promoters take note!”.
If 2007 was the birth then 2008 is the baptism and we aren't talking about a glass of bubbly, a slice of cake and a cuddle of the baby here folks! This bombastic volume alone will cause wimps to scatter like cockroaches under a spotlight!
“The Second Coming” will be released in Japan via Spiritual Beast/Universal on 15th October, North America via Metal Mayhem Music on 22nd October and finally in Europe via AFM Records on 24th October.
