EDENBRIDGE – The Chronicles of Eden Part 2 [Best of Edenbridge] (2021)

After the first retrospective The Chronicles Of Eden (2007), EDENBRIDGE, one of the most distinctive bands in the sympho / prog metal genre, deliver their second “Best Of” album, right on time to their 20th anniversary.
”The Chronicles Of Eden Part 2” is the quintessence of the studio albums 5-10 from the band and again it was up to the fans to vote for their favorite tracks of each album, and as bonus the release featured 3 previously unreleased tracks.

The 150 minutes of this 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 and intense 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.

Among the new stuff, there’s a re-recording of their catchy rocker ‘Higher’ into a nearly jazzy piano/vocal version showing a different side of of the band.
‘Paramount’ is one of the absolute fan favourites, and they have transformed that song too to let it shine in a new light.
