Multinational melodic metallers Eden's Curse are set to release their
third album 'Trinity' on March 21st 2011.
Produced once again by Dennis Ward (Krokus, Angra, Allen & Lande, Pink
Cream 69), 'Trinity' picks up where 2008 album 'The Second Coming' left
off.
Packed with
all their traditional trademarks, and featuring the recording debut of
keyboard player Alessandro Del Vecchio (Glenn Hughes / Ian Paice / Edge
Of Forever /Moonstone Project), 'Trinity' is arguably the most powerful
sounding Eden's Curse record to date.
From
Thorsten Koehne's wall of razor sharp guitars, to Messrs Logue and
Newdeck's pounding rhythm section, Ward's sublime production has allowed
these new songs to explode from the speakers in a sonic assault wrapped
around the instantly recognisable sound of Michael Eden, who once again
gives a consummate performance, rich, powerful and yet crystalline.
With a contemporary approach to the keyboards that hints at such bands
as Kamelot and huge orchestral passages that build wonderful texture,
'Trinity' is sure to be an album that defines this line up, but it's not
just the songs that give this album such depth.
As has
become customary with each release, Eden's Curse have once again sought
out varied and outstanding guest vocalists to collaborate with; and this
time they've truly outdone themselves by attracting the likes of not
only Helloween singer Andi Deris to the cause (on the track
'Black Widow', one of the band's heaviest ditties to date…), but also
the immense talent of one James LaBrie, respected vocalist with
possibly the world's most professional Prog Metal band, Dream Theater.
Dueting with Eden on the epic anthem 'No Holy Man' and also contributing
backing vocals to the whole album, LaBrie can be heard throughout giving
a storming performance and his praise for the ‘Curse themselves was
boundless
.
Vocalist
Marco Sandron joined the band in 2012.
"In 2010 I was fortunate to discover Eden's Curse,' says LaBrie of the
new record.
"I
absolutely love this band. Great players and people, they deserve
nothing but huge success! They belong with the best of today's music.
Trust me, you're going to love this album from beginning to end ".
And that's not all! Other notable tracks such as the album's hook laden
opener and title track, the contemporary 'Saints Of Tomorrow'; the tear
jerking stadium ballad 'Guardian Angel', and the melodic rock gem
'Rivers Of Destiny', which blends beautifully with the bruising
'Jerusalem Sleeps', are sure once again to bring this album praise from
many quarters, but there's one last moment which illustrates just why
Eden's Curse are destined for that ultimate success.
The band
closes the album with a recorded tribute to one of their idols, the late
Ronnie James Dio, and their fabulous rendition of 'Rock ‘N' Roll
Children' is as consummate a version as you could ask for.
'Trinity' is truly a classy affair that will see Eden's Curse once again
take major steps forward and cement their place alongside many of their
contemporaries in today's European melodic metal scene.
After two
successful and extremely well received albums (debut 'Eden's Curse' from
2007 and the sophomore 'The Second Coming', released in 2008), 'Trinity'
proves once and for all that this band do have the key ingredients to
push on to even greater heights.
