Edenbridge, new single and lyric video “Tauerngold” has been released.

Edenbridge will release ‘The Chronicles Of Eden Part Two’ on 15 January 2021, to coincide with their twentieth anniversary. The album is their second ‘best of’ and covers the last five studio albums, as well as new acoustic versions of the songs ‘Higher’ and ‘Dynamind’.

The artwork (above) is inspired by a vision, or kind of spiritual awakening, linked to the Aurora Borealis.

Vocalist Sabine explained: “After my own spiritual experience a couple of years ago and without an explainable reason, I felt a deep connection to the name Aurora.

“Subsequently I concerned myself with what the name stands for and relating it now to a heart quality, which might lead us to higher consciousness.

“Especially, when there is a lot of negativity in the room, a possibility for transformation exists through recognition and acceptance, respectively the self-responsibility for one’s own feelings. “Edenbridge always followed this path and especially now it is even more important to get into the own truthfulness.” The chosen track list was a result of a fan vote, based on people choosing their favourite songs fro each album. Lanvall told us: “The voting was not a major surprise and is more or less identical to the songs, we would also have chosen. Therefore four tracks of each album could be covered along with some older all out of print bonus tracks.”

The 150 minutes of the double album cover the big range of the symphonic metal sound and the compositional substance and consistency, Edenbridge has been standing for 20 years. Atmospherically dense compositions, directed mainly by Lanvall and vocalist Sabine Edelsbacher, which combine melodies and grooves, toughness and sensitivity, emotions and intellect, spirit and the subconscious mind in a unique way.

The graphic direction of the cover artwork was again in the hands of drummer Johannes Jungreithmeier, who developed into the creative visual pole of the band since his entrance into the band in 2016. All tracks were produced by Lanvall and mixed by Threshold mastermind Karl Groom, with whom the band has been collaborating for 15 years now.
